| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The aim of this paper is to determine and compare the risk factors of maternal mortality before and after childbirth in Burkina Faso. Analyses are performed at both bivariate and multivariate level using conditional logistic regression. An Emergency Obstetric Care (EMOC) survey of Burkina Faso for 2010 provided the data utilized for the analyses. The diagnosis of health professionals indicated that abortion with 36.3% is the main direct cause of prenatal maternal deaths while haemorrhage with 41.6% is the main direct cause of maternal mortality after delivery. In addition, 29.4% of post-natal maternal deaths were due to infection while only 23.5% of prenatal maternal deaths were due to the same cause. |
