Le résumé fourni par la source
One of the three health-related UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) seeks to see a 75% reduction in maternal mortality worldwide by the year 2015.This is the MDG that is most off-target, and it is unlikely to be achieved.Progress in reducing maternal mortality can only be demonstrated by accurate population measurements -which can be extremely challenging in low-income countries -which is where the large majority of maternal deaths occur.The UK has had a continuous audit of maternal deaths since 1952.Identification of deaths has become very accurate by linking death certification with birth certification, nationally.The audit is 'confidential' in that assessment is made without knowledge of the names of the patients or clinicians or of hospitals.A similar model has been adopted elsewhere e.g.South Africa.Reports are published at 3 yearly intervals and generic messages in recent reports have included the importance of social exclusion and some ethnicities, the growing problem of obesity and its significance to maternal mortality, and the significance of suicide.This presentation will review trends in early pregnancy maternal deaths since the early 1950s, and focus on recent important findings.Deaths from ectopic pregnancy are more common than from miscarriage or from termination of pregnancy.A major concern has been the failure to suspect ectopic pregnancy in women with atypical clinical presentations, notably diarrhoea and vomiting.Deaths from sepsis may be an increasing problem, including deaths after miscarriage.The symptoms and signs of serious, pregnancy-related sepsis may be non-specific and deterioration can be extremely rapid.There is a need to reinforce the importance of basic clinical observations and encourage the use of monitoring tools such as the Modified Early Obstetric Warning Score (MEOWS).
