“…Obstetric danger signs are those symptoms and signs that may indicate danger to pregnant mothers throughout pregnancy, childbirth, or after childbirth, and if not managed early, lead to obstetric complications and maternal death. 1 – 3 Excessive vaginal bleeding, hand or face swelling, severe abdominal pain, persistent backache, persistent nausea and vomiting, decreased fetal movements, blurred vision, and convulsions are danger signs during pregnancy 4 – 7 whereas excessive vaginal bleeding, extended labor (more than 12 h), retained placenta (more than 1 h), premature rupture of membrane, fetal malposition, and convulsions are danger signs during labor and delivery. 4 , 8 , 9 Danger signs during the postpartum period include severe vaginal bleeding following childbirth.…”

Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis will investigate the pooled knowledge level of obstetric danger signs and related factors among African women. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis incorporating cross-sectional, case–control, and cohort study designs. Methods: Studies published with full texts in English language from the beginning to the present will be searched in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature, African Journals Online, and Google Scholar databases. Checklists from the Joanna Briggs Institute will be used to assess the quality of the studies’ methodology. Data extraction, critical appraisal, and screening of all retrieved articles will be conducted by two independent reviewers. Statistical analysis will be performed using the STATA-14 and Review Manager 5.3 (RevMan 5.3) software packages. A random effect will be employed to demonstrate pooled estimates of knowledge among women. For determinants of knowledge, an effect size with a 95% confidence interval will be analyzed. Protocol Registration: This systematic review and meta-analysis protocol was registered in PROSPERO with the registration ID and link as follows: CRD42022379085; CRD register@york.ac.uk https://www.york.ac.uk/inst/crd Discussion: Women who are more knowledgeable about obstetric danger signs are more likely to seek emergency care on time, closely attend antenatal care, and be better prepared for labor and any complications, which reduces both maternal and child mortality. This analysis will provide evidence of the pooled prevalence of knowledge of obstetric danger signs among African women, as well as contributing factors.

Barriers to access and utilization of emergency obstetric care at health facilities in sub-Saharan Africa—a systematic review protocol

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BackgroundNearly 15% of all pregnancies end in fatal perinatal obstetric complications including bleeding, infections, hypertension, obstructed labor, and complications of abortion. Between 1990 and 2015, an estimated 10.7 million women died due to obstetric complications. Almost all of these deaths (99%) happened in developing countries, and 66% of maternal deaths were attributed to sub-Saharan Africa. The majority of cases of maternal mortalities can be prevented through provision of evidence-based potentially life-saving signal functions of emergency obstetric care. However, different factors can hinder women’s ability to access and use emergency obstetric services in sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, the aim of this review is to synthesize current evidence on barriers to accessing and utilizing emergency obstetric care in sub-Saharan African. Decision-makers and policy formulators will use evidence generated from this review in improving maternal healthcare particularly the emergency obstetric care.MethodsElectronic databases including MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, and Maternity and Infant Care will be searched for studies using predefined search terms. Articles published in English language between 2010 and 2017 with quantitative and qualitative design will be included. The identified papers will be assessed for meeting eligibility criteria. First, the articles will be screened by examining their titles and abstracts. Then, two reviewers will review the full text of the selected articles independently. Two reviewers using a standard data extraction format will undertake data extraction from the retained studies. The quality of the included papers will be assessed using the mixed methods appraisal tool. Results from the eligible studies will be qualitatively synthesized using the narrative synthesis approach and reported using the three delays model. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist will be employed to present the findings.DiscussionThis systematic review will present a detailed synthesis of the evidence for barriers to access and utilization of emergency obstetric care in sub-Saharan Africa over the last 7 years. This systematic review is expected to provide clear information that can help in designing maternal health policy and interventions particularly in emergency obstetric care in sub-Saharan Africa where maternal mortality remains high.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO CRD42017074102.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s13643-018-0720-y) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
