Background: A high maternal mortality ratio is a serious public health issue in India. The lack of monitoring of pregnant mothers contributes to maternal deaths.
Aims & Objectives: This To study the incidence of maternal mortality and the causes of maternal mortality at a tertiary care (teaching) institute over a period of 6 years from January 2006 December 2010.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of maternal deaths from hospital records.
Results: As per present study, MMR was 1180 per 100,000 live births. Haemorrhage (53%) was the leading cause of death. Anaemia was a contributory factor in almost all cases (63%) & most of the deaths were associated with intrauterine fetal deaths (71%).
Conclusion: MMR of the institute was very high, because most patients were referred cases with no antenatal care.
