PREGNANCY-ASSOCIATED DEATH

42
Q

A pregnancy-associated death that results from:

(1) complications of pregnancy itself
(2) the chain of events initiated by pregnancy that led to death
(3) aggravation of an unrelated condition by the physiological or pharmacological effects of pregnancy and that subsequently caused death

43
Q

  1. Perinatal mortality
  2. Infant deaths
  3. Maternal mortality
  4. Severe maternal morbidity
44
Q

Maternal mortality:

A
  1. Hemorrhage
  2. Gestational hypertension
  3. Infection
45
Q

TIMELY TOPICS IN OBSTETRICS (RISING CESAREAN DELIVERY RATE)

A
  1. The major indication for primary ceasarean delivery is dystocia
  2. The sharp decline in vaginal births after cesarean section (VBAC) is related to uterine rupture risk associated labor
  3. The cesarean delivery on maternal request (CDMR) contribute to the rise
  4. Near-term and term pregnancy labor induction is common-place and failed inductions contribute to the cesarean delivery
