To measure maternal mortality among the Gabbra, a group of nomadic pastoralists living in a remote area of Kenya.
As part of a survey of 851 households, information on the number of sisters of respondents who died of pregnancy-related causes was collected and the data were used to calculate maternal mortality statistics using the sisterhood (an indirect) method.
The maternal mortality ratio for this population was 599 deaths per 100,000 births (95% C.I. 424-775). The lifetime risk of dying around childbirth is 1 in 30, and the proportion of ever-married sisters that died under 50 years of age who died from maternal causes is 0.48 (95% C.I. 0.38-0.58).
The risk of dying of maternal causes is high in this population.
测量加布拉族(生活在肯尼亚偏远地区的游牧牧民群体)的孕产妇死亡率。
作为对851户家庭调查的一部分,收集了受访者因妊娠相关原因死亡姐妹的数量信息,并使用姐妹法(一种间接方法)来计算孕产妇死亡率统计数据。
该人群的孕产妇死亡率为每10万例分娩中有599例死亡(95%置信区间424 - 775)。分娩前后死亡的终身风险为三十分之一,50岁以下已婚姐妹中死于孕产妇原因的比例为0.48(95%置信区间0.38 - 0.58)。
该人群中死于孕产妇原因的风险很高。
