Produktbeschreibung
Pregnancy and birth-related complications constitute major drivers to the increasing burden of death and disability, especially in low-income countries. In order to prevent women from dying during pregnancy and childbirth, all women must receive antenatal care services with adequate skilled care during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum periods. Utilization of these services is mostly hindered by various factors. It is therefore imperative to determine pattern and determinants of obstetric complications which may include cultural beliefs and practices at a general hospital in Kaduna, North-Western Nigeria. The study aimed to contribute towards improving the outcome of pregnancy. It is a cross sectional study using the convenience non-probability sampling method. A minimum sample size of 185 was used. Data was analyzed using EPI - INFO statistical package (3.5.3 January 2011 version). Prolonged/obstructed labour was the commonest (27.7%). Binomial logistic regression analysis predicted that 4 or more visits reduces obstetric complications 14 times.
