Sponsor's own description
Sierra Leone faces the highest maternal mortality ratio in the world. Despite this extreme burden, the potential roles of obstetric critical care and high dependency units (HDUs) in this and other resource-limited settings remain scarcely explored. This study investigated epidemiology, clinical outcomes and risk factors for mortality in critically-ill parturients admitted to an obstetric HDU in a high volume, urban resource-limited maternity hospital.
