Abstract

Maternal near miss refers to a very ill pregnant or delivered woman who nearly died but survived a complication during pregnancy, childbirth, or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy. In Ethiopia, in spite of all efforts, the maternal mortality rate remains unacceptably high. Thus, the study was aimed to identify the determinants of maternal near-miss among admitted women and their implications for the first and second delays in health-seeking. An unmatched case-control study was conducted from August to October 2021 among 248 (83 cases and 165 controls) women admitted for obstetric care at Gedo General Hospital. Cases were selected consecutively, whereas controls were selected randomly. Data were gathered using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were presented using tables, figures, and texts. Binary and multivariable logistic regression was done to identify determinants of the maternal near miss at p -value
