ABSTRACT
The aim of our study was to establish an inventory of deliveries in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo. We carried out a descriptive study in 10 General Reference Hospitals in the city from 1 December 2013 to 31 May 2014. The study reports that pregnant mothers in Lubumbashi deliver at a mean age of 28.2 years. The women have a mean parity of 3.8, they are married (97.7%), overweight (mean BMI 25.68 kg/m2) and had 2.6 antenatal care on mean. The primary mode of delivery was spontaneous vaginal delivery (91.7%). About 10% of mothers had a complication dominated by perineal or vaginal tears and haemorrhagic complications. Newborns weighed on average 3121.2 grams and 0.56% had a congenital malformation dominated by polydactyly and cleft-palate. Maternal and perinatal mortality rates were 310 per 100,000 live births and 42.4 per 1,000 live births, respectively
