Maternal Near Miss Morbidity and Mortality: An Audit Analysis of 10 Years From a Private Tertiary Care Obstetric Center.
Article in Cureus, 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
Background Maternal near-miss morbidity (MNM) and maternal death (MD) are indicators of the quality of maternal health care. Despite various efforts, MNM and MD rates remain high in several nations. Therefore, it is important to develop new strategies to address this issue. Objectives The primary objective of this study was to determine the proportion of potentially life-threatening conditions (PLTC), life-threatening conditions (LTC), MNM cases, and MD cases among all women booked for care at the study site over the last 10 years. The secondary objectives of the study were to calculate the maternal morbidity and mortality indices and elucidate the underlying profile of MNM and MD cases. Materials and methods A clinical audit of data from Fernandez Hospital, Hyderabad, India, from January 2011 to December 2020 was carried out. Data of women diagnosed with PLTC during the study period were extracted. Incidences of MNM and MD were calculated along with other mortality and morbidity indicators. Etiologies of MNM and MD were evaluated. Results Of the 79,069 women included in the study, PLTC, LTC, MNM, and MD were noted in 7410 (9.37%), 245 (0.31%), 233 (0.29%), and 12 (0.015%) cases, respectively. Hemorrhage and preeclampsia were seen in 88 (37.77%) and 44 (18.88%) cases, respectively. Hypertensive disorders were the most common cause of MD, as seen in five (41.7%) cases. Conclusions Hemorrhage and hypertension were the leading causes of MNM in our study, and hypertension was the leading cause of MD. It is crucial for maternity centers to implement strategies to identify at-risk women. Such cases should be evaluated, diagnosed, and treated as soon as possible to avoid MNM and preventable MD.
