This study reports the medical and demographic risk factors associated with maternal death during hospital admission for delivery by using a state-maintained database. This information could prove useful in the creation of initiatives aimed at decreasing the public health burden associated with maternal mortality.
Unusual bacteria such as S bovis are sometimes responsible for severe maternal and fetal infections. Aggressive fluid resuscitation, uterine evacuation, and triple antibiotic therapy until culture results are available are indicated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
