Prevalence, underlying causes, and determinants of maternal near miss in Ethiopia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Maternal near miss (MNM) is one of the newly adopted assessment parameters to gauge the quality of maternity care. In Ethiopia, several studies have been conducted to investigate the incidence, underlying causes, and determinants of MNM. However, the findings from those studies vary greatly and are largely inconsistent. Thus, this review aims to more robustly estimate the pooled prevalence, identify underlying causes, and single out determinants of MNM in Ethiopia.

Methods

Studies were searched from international databases (PubMed/ Medline, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases) and other potential sites. All observational studies were included. Heterogeneity between studies was checked using Cochrane Q test statistics and I² test statistics and small
