what is a direct cause of maternal death; give two examples
A direct cause of maternal death is a death that resulted due to a condition as a consequence of pregnancy e.g. pre-eclampsia, VTE, haemorrhage
what is an indirect cause of death and give two examples
An indirect cause of death is a condition that has not been caused by pregnancy but perhaps severity increased due to pregnancy. It is often a pre-existing condition made worse due to the physiology of pregnancy e.g cardiac disease, diabetes, epilepsy, suicide
