Introduction: Maternal mortality is a robust indicator of human development. Most of
it occurs in developing countries.Objectives: This study aims to determine the factors associated with maternal
mortality in Gynecology and Obstetrics Department
of Borgou Departmental University Hospital Center (CHUD-B).Study method: Our study took place at Gynecology and Obstetrics Department in Borgou
Departmental University Hospital Center. This was a descriptive and analytical
case-control study, covering a period of 7 years from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2018.Results: Two hundred and twelve patients have been recruited consisting of 106
deceased women and 106 controls. The intra-hospital mortality ratio was 1100
deaths per 100,000 live births (LB). The mean age of deceased women was 27.06 ±
6.45 years with the extremes of 15 and 45 years. Direct obstetric causes were
the most frequent causes of maternal death. They were dominated by immediate
postpartum hemorrhage (32.93%), followed by High Blood Pressure (26.83%) and
infections (17.07%). The general condition of patients on admission (p-0.000)
and inadequate management (p-0.001) was
