Maternal near miss incidence ratio, its causes and risk factors in East Africa: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The MNM incidence ratio in East Africa was high. Obstetric haemorrhage, hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, and uterine rupture were the three leading obstetric causes of MNM. Income, employment status, parity, ANC, history of CS, and distance to health facilities were found to be associated with MNM. Policymakers and healthcare workers need to consider these identified risk factors in interventions aimed at improving maternal health.
