Case-control study finds postpartum period and low oxygen saturation linked to maternal mortality in Pernambuco, suggesting health intervention strategies.

Key Points

This analysis investigates factors contributing to maternal mortality from COVID-19 in Pernambuco from 2020 to 2021.
Case-control design with 37 maternal death cases and 112 controls.
Used conditional and Firth’s penalized logistic regression models to estimate odds ratios.
Evaluated sociodemographic, gestational, and clinical factors associated with outcomes.
Postpartum period significantly associated with maternal death (aOR: 80.78).
Low oxygen saturation (<95%) linked to increased odds of death (aOR: 7.16).
Fever noted as a possible protective factor against maternal death (aOR: 0.08).
