Maternal morbidity measurement tool pilot: study protocol

Abstract: BackgroundWhile it is estimated that for every maternal death, 20–30 women suffer morbidity, these estimates are not based on standardized methods and measures. Lack of an agreed-upon definition, identification criteria, standardized assessment tools, and indicators has limited valid, routine, and comparable measurements of maternal morbidity. The World Health Organization (WHO) convened the Maternal Morbidity Working Group (MMWG) to develop standardized methods to improve estimates of maternal morbidity. To d… Show more

“…The MMWG's efforts have led to the development of a measurement instrument to describe nonsevere maternal morbidity in a manner that highlights the woman's experience of pregnancy as the starting point. Its woman‐centered questions have allowed for self‐reporting of factors contributing to morbidity. The instrument is then strengthened by the clinical perspective through diagnoses by skilled providers.…”

“…Participants were conveniently selected from among women presenting for routine ANC or PPC services. Inclusion criteria were that ANC women were at least 28 weeks pregnant, and PPC women were 6–12 weeks after delivery . Women whose pregnancies ended in abortion or miscarriage were excluded, while those who experienced stillbirths were included.…”

“…In addition, there is a spectrum of morbid conditions between healthy gestation and maternal death ranging from mild to extremely severe conditions. 2 In this context, the World Health Organization (WHO) defined the criterion of severe maternal morbidity or "maternal near miss" as "a woman who almost died but survived a serious maternal complication during pregnancy, childbirth, or within 42 days of completion of pregnancy." 3 These women have survived severe maternal complications or "life-threatening conditions" due to adequate healthcare services.…”

“…4 Life-threatening conditions are the extreme of potential life-threatening conditions (PLTC) or maternal complications and that relates to some organ dysfunction feature. 2 Several indicators derived from the near miss concept and can be used in research and obstetrical audits. The maternal near miss ratio (MNMR) refers to the number of maternal near miss cases by the number of live births (by 100,000); severe maternal outcomes (or life-threatening condition) includes cases of near miss and maternal death; maternal near miss mortality ratio and maternal death (MNM: MD); and the mortality rate (MR), which refers to the proportion of maternal deaths from the total sever outcomes.…”

“…Com a redução da mortalidade materna 1 maior ênfase tem sido dada às morbidades 4 na avaliação da saúde materna. Há distintas definições para complicações maternas durante a gestação, e esforços têm sido dedicados para a formulação de indicadores que possam reproduzir a magnitude de sua ocorrência no mundo 5 . Tem-se estimado que para cada óbito materno de 20 a 30 mulheres apresentam alguma morbidade materna 6 .…”
