Systolic hypertension, caesarean duration and prenatal visits as predictors of maternal near miss in Peru
The findings suggest that systolic hypertension before caesarean delivery, caesarean duration and number of prenatal visits are significant predictors of maternal near miss. These results underscore the importance of early prenatal care, monitoring blood pressure levels and optimizing surgical duration to improve maternal outcomes. Future research should focus on the implementation of targeted interventions based on these predictors to reduce maternal morbidity and improve health policies in low-resource settings.
