Abstract

Gestational age below 37 weeks, lack of antenatal booking, and anemia were found to be significant predictors of maternal sepsis. <i>E. coli</i> was the most common pathogen identified. High mortality rate in maternal sepsis highlights the need for early identification, effective management, and close monitoring to reduce maternal mortality from sepsis.
