Abstract

Background &Aim: Pregnant women s population is important from the point of view of health indices. Their mortality means low health index and this is a great problem. On the basis of WHO report, every year 600000 women die because of complications of PREGNANCY and delivery. That is 1600 women die every day and one woman every minute. Since definite cause of death is aften determined by post mortem autopsy in forensic medicine center, we decided to evaluate cases referred to LEGAL MEDICINE center to determine causes and risk factors of MATERNAL DEATH. We hope to find ways to prevent and solve this great problem.Material & Methods: This was a descriptive and cross sectional study. The studied population consisted all cases of pregnant women who had died during PREGNANCY or delivery(in 1999-2005)and were referred to LEGAL MEDICINE center of Khorasan province. According to the data gathered through completed forms seventeen cases were evaluated.Results & Conclusion: Range of maternal mortality age was 17-41 and the average was 31.2 years. Most of them occurred in the 3rd trimester, while 41.2% were primipara and 17.7% were grand multipart. The most common cause of death determined by their physician was amniotic fluid emboli (35.3%) and by forensic physician was hemorrhage (41.2%) which agreed in 64.9% and not in 35.4% of cases. Finally causes of MATERNAL DEATH were hemorrhage, AFE, ecclampsia, infection and other. In 41.2% surgical intervention to save the patients' life was done and in 58.8% it was not necessary.Type of delivery in 64.9% of cases was Cesarean section and in 29.4% was vaginal. Factors that influenced maternal mortality were inexpertness (41.3%), absence of blood bank (23.6%), unavailability of expert physician and absence of medical equipments (both: 17.6%).
