“…But in the present study incensement of serum total protein in case groups was not significant compared with control groups (P> 0.05). The current finding was consistent with different previously published studies [38,[54][55][56]. But all of these previous studies indicated that the elevation of serum total protein in case groups was significant.…”

“…Serum creatinine and blood urea level were increased in preeclampsia when compared to normal pregnancy, and the change was statistically significant (P<0.05). And this was similar with the finding of different previously published studies which all reported that a significant alternation of blood urea and serum creatinine was found with pregnant women who have PIH compared with pregnant women without PIH (P < 0.05) [34,54,55].…”

“…Women presenting with a history of missed menstrual period, positive pregnancy test, an episode of vaginal bleeding, usually showed high level of anxiety. In the study conducted by Maputle et al 21 found that cultural stereotype influences decisions, for example, not to tell other people about what's happening with the pregnancy or the gestational age because the pregnancy will be aborted. The cultural attitudes to health care in general, and uterine bleeding in particular, influenced the provision of care to affected women.…”

Introduction: The understanding of the link between cultural affairs and maternal health is critical to save the lives of women. The South African maternal mortality rate (MMR) target for 2015 was 38/100,000 live births. In 2017, South Africa had 1,222 maternal deaths. The purpose was to determine the perceived cultural factors contributing to MMR in rural villages in Mopani District. Methods: This qualitative research and non-probability purposive sampling was used to select participants who met the inclusion criteria. Thirty women, age 40 years and above childbearing age, who had given birth in their lifetime, were sampled. Data were collected through in-depth individual interviews at the women's homes. Probing to elicit more information was conducted focusing on hemorrhage, hypertension and risk of contracting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Data were analyzed through open coding methods. Trustworthiness was ensured by Guba and Lincoln's criteria, credibility, dependability, confirmability, and transferability. Results: From the study three themes emerged from the data as cultural factors relating to heavy, red post-delivery bleeding perceived as cleaning-out of the womb. With hypertension, gaining weight rapidly before the 20th week of gestation not reported as a pregnancy was still culturally concealed. Contracting HIV, women were exposed to unsafe sex practices due to cultural expectations of having children as a sign of femininity. Discussion: The formulation of culture congruent interventions to promote good and acceptable cultural practices that cannot harm the physical and mental status of women was recommended to reduce unplanned deaths among them.
