ABSTRACT
Determinants of maternal mortality and causes of death pertaining to mode of delivery have been discussed. There were 23 deaths (case fatality rate of 7.2%) and maximum deaths occurred in intrapartum eclampsia (12 ie, 52.17%). Caesarean section was performed in 92 cases (28.7%) of which 4 women died (4.3%). Maternal mortality in cases who delivered vaginally was 7.1% (16 out of 225) and 3 cases died undelivered. Authors feel that at the referral centres early caesarean section in eclampsia may help in reducing maternal mortality.
