Maternal mortality in Bahrain with special reference to sickle cell disease.

The maternal mortality in Bahrain during the 10-year period, 1977-1986, was 33.9 per 100,000 livebirths; the second 5-year period showed a significant reduction (26.9) compared to the first 5-year period (42.3). Haemorrhage, pulmonary embolism, hypertensive diseases of pregnancy and infection were the main causes of maternal mortality. Sickle cell disease was found to be an underlying cause in about one third of the maternal deaths. Avoidable factors were present in 38% of the cases, the majority being due to the failure of the patients to seek medical care or follow medical advice. Health education, premarital counselling and family planning were identified as significant factors in reducing the maternal mortality rate.
