Objective: to determine the frequency, types (disease states) and outcome of severe obstetric morbidity in patients presenting at a public-sector tertiary care hospital. methods: the cross-sectional study was conducted at the obstetrics and gynaecology unit ii, civil hospital, karachi, from april to september 2010. consecutive cases of severe obstetric morbidity (near-miss), as defined by specific criteria, presenting in emergency were included. they were categorised into six groups: haemorrhage, hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, sepsis, ruptured uterus, anaemia, and a miscellaneous group encompassing morbidities not falling in the aforementioned groups. obstetric near-miss (onm) cases were described by disease-specific criteria. primary outcome measures were frequency of near-miss in each disease specific group, type (disease state) of near miss in a group, maternal outcome measures i.e. hospital stay>7 days, hysterectomy, urinary/faecal fistula, morbidity due to management intervention and maternal death. maternal near-miss ratio and mortality to near-miss ratio were calculated. secondary outcome measures were ventilator support for >24 hours, and intensive care admission for >48 hours. results: there were 1508 deliveries during the study period from which 130 patients met the inclusion criteria. among the 130 enrolled patients, obstetric near-miss (survivors) were 111. among the total of 1442 livebirths, the maternal near-miss ratio was calculated to be 76.97/1000 livebirths. nineteen maternal deaths resulted in the near-miss to mortality ratio of 5.8:1. haemorrhage (34.2%) was the most frequent group, followed by hypertensive disorders (29.1%) and ruptured uterus (11.53%). case fatality rates of sepsis (35%) and miscellaneous (30%) groups were the highest. hysterectomy rates were 3.60% and hospital stay > 7 days stood at 31.33%. the intensive care admission rate was 42.34%. conclusion: haemorrhage, hypertensive disorders and ruptured uterus were the leading causes of obstetric near-miss, whereas sepsis, acute fatty liver of pregnancy and peripartum cardiomyopathy resulted in the highest case fatalities.
