Trends and disparities of disease burden in infections among pregnant women in 131 low-income and middle-income countries, 1990-2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and territories, maternal infections impose a non-negligible disease burden. We aimed to analyse the secular trends, age distribution, and associated factors of maternal sepsis and other maternal infections (MSMI) across 131 LMICs from 1990 to 2019.

Methods

We collected yearly data of incidences, deaths, and disability adjusted life years (DALYs) on MSMI in 131 LMICs from 1990 to 2019 from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 (GBD 2019). The sociodemographic index (SDI) and universal health coverage effective coverage index (UHCI) were also acquired. Relative percent change and estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) were used to assess the secular trends. Correlation analyses were also employed to explore the association
