| dc.description.abstract | In this two year retrospective study the main indications for Cs were found
to be cephalopelvic di~proportion (35%), previous Cs 25%, foetal distress (13.7%),
malpresentation 5.5% and antepartum haemorrhage (5.5%). These five accounted
for about 7ttiYo of Cs operations. 80%of these were emergency while 20%were
elective procedures.
The maternal mortality was 2.2 per 1000 births; the perinatal mortality
was 51. 9 per 1000 births while neonatal mortality was 35.9 per 1000 live births.
These rates are high. The LBW rate was 12.5% of babies born of whom 37%were
SGA. The main causes of neonatal death were infection, severe asphxia and
Rh-isoimmunization while LBW was an Important associated cause.
Recommendations aimed at reducing the unfavourable outcome are made. | en |
