| Abstract | Background: 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. Maternal death; the most catastrophic end is frequently described as just "tip of the iceberg," whereas maternal near-miss as the "base." Therefore, this study aimed at assessing the factors associated with maternal near-miss among women admitted in public hospitals of West Arsi zone, Ethiopia. Methods: A facility-based unmatched case-control study was conducted from Mar 1 to Apr 30, 2019. Three hundred twenty-one (80 cases and 241 controls) study participants were involved in the study. Cases were recruited consecutively as they present, whereas controls were selected by systematic sampling method. Cases were women admitted to hospitals during pregnancy, delivery, or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy and fulfilled at least one of the maternal near-miss disease-specific criteria, while controls were women admitted and gave birth by normal vaginal delivery. The interviewer-administered structured questionnaire and data abstraction tool was used to collect data. Data were entered Epi data 3.1 and then transferred into SPSS 20 for analysis. Multivariable logistic regression was used, and the significance level was declared at Results: The major maternal near-miss morbidities were severe obstetric hemorrhage (32.5%), pregnancy-induced hypertensive disorders (31.3%), and obstructed labor (26.3%), followed by 6.3% and 3.8% of severe anemia and pregnancy-induced sepsis, respectively. The odds of maternal near miss were statistically significantly associated with women's lack of formal education [AOR = 2.24, 95% CI: (1.17, 4.31)]. Not attending antenatal care [AOR = 3.71, 95% CI: (1.10, 12.76)], having prior history of cesarean section [AOR = 3.53, 95% CI: (1.49, 8.36)], any preexisting chronic medical disorder [AOR = 2.04, 95% CI: (1.11, 3.78)], and having experienced first delay [AOR = 5.74, 95% CI: (2.93, 11.2)]. Conclusions: Maternal education, antenatal care, chronic medical disorders, previous cesarean section, and first delay of obstetric care-seeking were identified as factors associated with maternal near-miss morbidity. Therefore, this finding implies the need to get better with those factors, to preclude severe maternal complications and subsequent maternal mortality. |
