Advanced maternal age, past pregnancy complications, caesarean section deliveries, preterm delivery, and referral to tertiary centers are significant risk factors for severe maternal morbidity.
Norhayati et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Severe maternal morbidity (n=704). Caesarean section delivery vs. Vaginal delivery was evaluated on Severe maternal morbidity (Adj. OR 6.8, 95% CI 4.68-10.01, p=<0.001). Caesarean section delivery was strongly associated with severe maternal morbidity, increasing the odds by nearly seven-fold (Adj. OR 6.8) compared to vaginal delivery.
