Abstract

Background & Methods: The aim of the study is to evaluate socio-demographic factors responsible or related to maternal mortality. 200 cases of maternal mortality were retrospectively studied. Results: In our study we found maximum cases in age group of 21-30 i.e. 63.5%. The chi-square statistic is 19.1301. The p-value is .000012. The result is significant at p < .05. 57% Maternal Death occurred from Rural Area Patients out of 200 cases of Maternal Death. Conclusion: High Maternal Mortality reflects not only inadequacy of health care services for mothers, but also a low standard of living and socio economic status of community. In the world as a whole the problem of maternal mortality is principally one of applying existing obstetric knowledge through antenatal, intra natal and post natal services rather than developing new skills. Rural –Urban Ratio is 57% Rural and 43% Urban. Booked/Emergency – 90.5% cases were Emergency and 9.5% cases were booked.
