Systolic hypertension, caesarean duration and prenatal visits as predictors of maternal near miss in Peru.
Article in International health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTo identify the predictive factors of maternal near miss in caesarean patients in the obstetrics and gynaecology service at Hospital III Daniel Alcides Carrión, Tacna, Peru.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2023. Preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative clinical and laboratory characteristics of caesarean patients hospitalized in the obstetrics and gynaecology service were analysed. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to identify predictors.
resultsWe identified 264 caesarean patients, of which 49 experienced maternal near miss. The mean age was 32.81±5.13 y, the median number of prenatal visits was 7 (interquartile range [IQR] 6-9) and the median gestational age was 39 weeks (IQR 37.5-40). Identified predictive factors for maternal near miss were systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg before caesarean (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 2.20), duration of the caesarean (aHR 1.02) and number of prenatal visits (aHR 0.90).
conclusionsThe findings suggest that systolic hypertension before caesarean delivery, caesarean duration and number of prenatal visits are significant predictors of maternal near miss. These results underscore the importance of early prenatal care, monitoring blood pressure levels and optimizing surgical duration to improve maternal outcomes. Future research should focus on the implementation of targeted interventions based on these predictors to reduce maternal morbidity and improve health policies in low-resource settings.
