Maternal Sepsis and associated factors: A multi-central study from two tertiary care hospitals of South Punjab, Pakistan
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.
