“…The magnitude is relatively lower than previous studies. In Pakistan hospital [7.1%] and prospective study done at Gonder town (18%), Uganda (9%), Cameron (23%) [1,4,8,14]. The difference could be due to coverage differences of the study subjects and study design.…”

“…It is also defined as blood loss sufficient to cause hypovolemia, a 10% drop in the hematocrit or requiring transfusion of blood products regardless of the route of delivery [1][2][3][4]. PPH is the leading cause of maternal mortality in developing countries (25-43%), but pulmonary embolism is the leading cause of the maternal mortality in case of developed countries.…”

“…PPH is the leading cause of maternal mortality in developing countries (25-43%), but pulmonary embolism is the leading cause of the maternal mortality in case of developed countries. It is a frequent complication of deliveries and its incidence is 2-4%, after vaginal deliveries and 6% after caesarean sections (C/S) [3][4][5][6][7]. Uterine atony, retained products of conception, trauma in genital tract and coagulation abnormalities are important causes of PPH [4,5,[8][9][10][11].…”

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage refers loss of more than 500 and/or 1000 ml of blood within 24 hour following vaginal, caesarean delivery respectively. It is significant public health problem both in developed and developing countries, causing considerable maternal mortality and morbidity. It is highly fatal if diagnosis and treatment is not provided early. In Ethiopia, the government launches different strategies to prevent postpartum hemorrhage. But still more than half of the maternal mortalities occurred after delivery due to hemorrhage. Even though postpartum hemorrhage is one of the major direct causes of maternal death in Ethiopia, there are only few studies done in the country. Therefore, determining magnitude and associated factors that causes postpartum hemorrhage is important to make different interventions.

Objective: Maternal mortality in Ethiopia is estimated to be 205 per 100,000 live births, with postpartum morbidities expected to surpass maternal mortality substantially. Beside this, there is a lack of information on postpartum morbidities in the study area. Thus, the purpose of this study was to assess the magnitude of postpartum morbidities and associated factors in Bale Robe Town, southeast Ethiopia. Method: An institution-based cross-sectional study was employed among 371 from 1 April to 30 May 2022 among postpartum women attending postnatal care service in the Bale-Robe Town public health facilities. A face-to-face interviewer administered a structured questionnaire, and the participants were selected through a systematic random sampling technique. A bivariate analysis was performed to see the association between each independent variable and dependent variable, and variables with p-values less than 0.25 in the bivariate analysis were retrieved for multivariable analyses. A p-value of less than 0.05 indicated a 95% confidence interval as the level of statistical significance. Result: A total of 366 participants were involved in the study, giving us a response rate of 98.6%. The magnitude of postpartum morbidities among mothers was found to be 102 (27.9%), with a confidence interval of 95% CI: 23.3, 32.8. Women who hadn’t had antenatal care follow-up (AOR = 2.47, 95% CI: 1.36, 4.50), instrumental delivery (AOR = 2.69, 95% CI: 1.16, 6.26), unskilled birth attendant (AOR = 3.35, 95% CI: 1.06, 10.63), rural residence (AOR = 2.21, 95% CI: 1.26, 3.89), and current pregnancy-related morbidity or abnormality (AOR = 3.81, 95% CI: 2.00, 7.25) were significantly associated factors. Conclusion: This study revealed that the occurrence of postpartum morbidity in Bale Robe is a great health concern. Therefore, we recommend health professionals and health extension workers strengthen early detection and management of intrapartum abnormalities, give attention during instrumental deliveries, and strengthen skilled birth attendants.

Background Globally, postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality. In developing countries, it accounts for more than 30% of all maternal deaths. So, understanding its burden in the health care setting is significant. Thus, this study aimed to assess the magnitude of PPH and its associated factors among women who gave birth at Yirgalem General Hospital, Sidama Region, Ethiopia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted from March 12 to 26, 2020 among randomly selected 298 women. Data were collected using an interviewer-administered, structured, and pretested questionnaire. EpiData version 3.1 and SPSS version 20 were used to enter and analyze the data, respectively. Descriptive statistics, bivariable, and multivariable logistic regression analysis were done. Adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to measure the presence and strength of association between the independent and the outcome variables. A P-value ≤.05 was considered to declare statistical significance. Result The magnitude of PPH was 9.4% [95% CI: 6.0, 12.8]. Prolonged labor (≥24 h) [AOR = 3.4, 95% CI: 1.1, 9.9], giving birth by cesarean section [AOR = 5.8, 95% CI: 1.1, 22.0], and instrumental vaginal delivery [AOR = 3.7, 95% CI: 1.1, 12.7], and having a history of the uterine atony [AOR = 4.8, 95% CI: 1.4, 16.6] during their last delivery were factors significantly associated with PPH. Conclusion The magnitude of PPH was high. Healthcare professionals should manage the progress of labor and take all necessary measures at right time. Also, giving attention to the safety of delivery-related procedures and early related potential risks is crucial.
