| description | ABSTRACT
Objective
To assess maternal mortality.
Design
Prospective community‐based survey, a sisterhood method survey and hospital data.
Setting
The study was performed in communities in a rural area in Northwestern Tanzania and the local district hospital.
Results
Four hundred and forty‐seven pregnant women in the community survey were followed up as far as six weeks after delivery; there were 2865 respondents in the sisterhood survey; the hospital study involved 7526 deliveries. Maternal morality ratios derived from the prospective community‐based survey, the sisterhood method survey and hospital data analysis were 241, 297, and 845 per 100000 live births, respectively.
Conclusions
Hospital data tend to overestimate maternal mortality in these communities. The sisterhood method is easier and more convenient than a prospective community‐based study. |
