9 Maternal Death the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management, but not from accidental or incidental causes International Federation of Gynaecology & Obstetrics (FIGO)
10 Classification of Maternal Deaths Direct Maternal Deaths Indirect Maternal Deaths Fortuitous Maternal Deaths
11 Direct Maternal Deaths Deaths resulting from obstetric complications of the pregnant state (pregnancy, labour, puerperium) from interventions, omissions, incorrect treatment or from a chain of events resulting from any of the above
12 Indirect Maternal Deaths Deaths resulting from previous existing disease, or disease that developed during pregnancy which was not due to direct obstetric causes but which was aggravated by the physiologic effects of pregnancy
13 Fortuitous Deaths Deaths resulting from causes not related to or influenced by pregnancy, deaths from drowning and road accidents, where the pregnancy is unlikely to have contributed significantly to the death, although it may be possible to postulate a remote association
14 Maternal Mortality Ratio Number of maternal deaths in a year x 100,000 Number of live births in the same year Only direct and indirect deaths are included Illegal immigrants are not included in the calculation of MMR though each case is investigated MMR for international reporting & comparison
15 MMR Malaysia 40 s to 90 s A steep decline occurred in the MMR in the decade between 1970 and 1980 when it fell from 141 to 56 per 100,000 live births, a decline of 40 per cent. The rapid decline continued throughout the 1980s such that by 1990 the MMR was reported as 19 per 100,000 births. The main factor for this decline is the national commitment to improve maternal health.

60 Decision for MDSR Top down decision Chaired by the DG of Health KPI of Minister of Health and DG Other ministries & agencies High level committee Representation by all stake holders Senior ministry officers Multidisciplinary
61 Why MDSR Increasing Maternal Deaths To identify causes of maternal death To identify shortfalls in care To identify remedial measures To plan interventional strategy To implement strategy To assess and analyse impact of MDSR
62 MDR Process Human resource / rapid turn-over Weak capacity and capability Poor data gathering Validity of the data Delayed transmission of reports Hospital audit
63 All methods: common principles, but have specific objectives and requirements All methods: are based on maternal mortality surveillance cycle Key Points Purpose: to stimulate action to prevent maternal deaths and morbidity Essential: those persons with the ability to promote and effect the necessary changes be involved in the process Inter country Workshop on Maternal Death Review, KL, 1-4 Nov 2011
64 Key Points All methods: identify causes, review local cases, look for avoidable factors, promote change in local/national practices, review the outcome of these changes May involve community interventions, as well as address clinical or health service issues Confidential and noblame approach Inter country Workshop on Maternal Death Review, KL, 1-4 Nov 2011
65 MDR Process - Issues Forms voluminous, tedious, lack of supply Digitalizing and archiving? Not all health facilities conduct MDSR Provincial Reviews National and Provincial/State/District Reviews Composition: Central/Provincial/County Review Committee? Champion?
66 MDSR => Drive Change for MMR Local level => local changes, and learning National level => policy changes inside and outside the health system DO NOT get confused by forms DO NOT get sidetracked by notification issues AVOID blame
67 Conclusion
68 MDSR Process NOTIFICATION INVESTIGATION FEEDBACK
69 Issues in MDR implementation The Don ts (1) Focus on process less focus on actions for preventing maternal death/morbidity Focus on statistics: while it should be beyond the numbers Complicated process takes a lot of scarce resources MDSR activity is treated as a research activity Lack of criteria for selecting maternal death cases when not all maternal deaths reviewed Establishment and roles of MDSR committee No supervision on how to hold effective & efficient MDSR
70 Issues in MDR implementation The Don ts (2) Forms to be used: too lengthy and complicated Data on maternal death is not complete/accurate lead to poor analysis and conclusion Recommendations for action are beyond control Results of MDSR are not well documented Poor monitoring of implementation of recommendations Lack of quality improvement in implementing MDSR No annual report of MDSR activities at all levels
71 Improving MDR implementation The Dos Focus on finding effective actions that can be done locally with existing resources Keep things simple: processes, tools/forms, reports MDSR to be made a part of routine activities using existing resources Recommendations: realistic and can be done locally Monitoring, supervision and quality improvement MDSR activities should be built in MDSR activities to be documented at all levels summarized in a national annual report
72 Micro Clinics & Community Protocol Behavioral change Macro Systems gaps Infrastructures, logistics & health insurance Laws & Policies
73 Maternal Mortality Surveillance Cycle Evaluate and refine Identify cases Recommendations for action Collect information Analyse results Intercountry Workshop on Maternal Death Review Kuala Lumpur, 1-4 November 2011
74 Achievements of MDSR National Agenda Medical Post Cabinet updates Collaboration from other ministries Home ministry.. Police Women s Ministry Education Ministry Social Welfare Ministry
75 Achievements of MDSR Impact Consensus Statement Misoprostolol Placenta Accreta Contraception TOP guidelines Drugs Availability Downgrading Policy Practice. Midwives
76 Achievements of MDSR Post mortems Reduced event-information, time delay SMS to DG/DDG Media involvement National Audit on Reccomendations
77 FIVE YEAR PLAN ACCELERATING PROGRESS TOWARDS ACHIEVING MDG 5 & Beyond 77 Majority deaths in hospitals Strengthening quality obstetric care in hospitals through: 100 % of hospitals with specialist Combined Clinic Pre-pregnancy Clinic Emergency obstetric drills Red Alert System Gaps in surveillance National roll out (National Obstetric Registry) Existing 14 states hospitals Expanded to other hospitals Deaths amongst higher parity still predominant Expand Promotion and provision of family planning services Increase by 10% of new and active users in health clinics every year All post natal wards provide family planning service All Specialist Clinics must provide Family planning services/ promotion
78 FIVE YEAR PLAN ACCELERATING PROGRESS TOWARDS ACHIEVING MDG 5 & Beyond 78 Expanding scope and multi-skilling of primary care personnel Adequate number Continuous professional education for the maternal and child health staff All Clinics must have one nurse with midwifery: In -service training on maternal and child health Lack of monitoring indicators Introduce new NIA indicators : Orang Asli Native/Interior Sabah Native/Interior Sarawak Urban poor Single/Young mothers Family Planning Amongst High Risk PPH incidence reporting Obstetric trauma incidence reporting Performance :Targeted population
79 STRATEGIES TOWARDS ACHIEVING MDG 5 Deaths amongst high risk mothers eg medical conditions, obese Deaths among non-clinic case / loss to follow up Strategies Strengthen pre pregnancy care Ensure accessibility, continuous and seamless care for pregnant mothers Activities Early detection and intervention of women with medical conditions before going into pregnancy stage at health clinics / hospitals Introduction of thromboprophylaxis for post LSCS mothers & development of guidelines for nurses to continue the treatment at peripheries. Mobile antenatal services estates, islands Government hospitals to alert health clinics on admission/discharge of high risk mothers esp AOR. Private hospital/clinics to inform health clinics on high risk mothers who refuse referral / default treatment, having social problems etc (Arahan Pekeliling KPK) 79
80 STRATEGIES TOWARDS ACHIEVING MDG 5 Deaths amongst mothers with social problems Strategies Management of mothers via personalised care Activities Staffs need to be more sensitive and responsive understands the underlying gender, social, economic and determinants of reproductive health Provide client friendly services privacy, non judgemental, confidential Collaborates with other agencies JKM Suboptimal care Continuous supervision at all level of care Internal or external inquiries Disciplinary actions 80

84 Agreements No blame its ok we all make mistakes we forgive you, but we do want to forget! Learning process to move on and rectify mistakes, don t do it again Powerful tool to effect reforms, quality assurance
85 Points to Remember Central support helps but is not a prerequisite Local enquiries provide a stimulus for change Change can be driven from bottom up & top down Staff become motivated and become advocates for change Intercountry Workshop on Maternal Death Review Kuala Lumpur, 1-4 November 2011
86 Points to Remember Can be done in countries with limited vital statistics Approaches do not have to be epidemiologically or statistically sound Even a simple MDR can lead to saving women s life Intercountry Workshop on Maternal Death Review Kuala Lumpur, 1-4 November 2011
87 Points to Remember Keep it simple only collect data that will be used Computer is not a prerequisite paper based systems work Every health worker can be self-reflective why a mother died can change attitudes and practices Intercountry Workshop on Maternal Death Review Kuala Lumpur, 1-4 November 2011
88 Points to Remember Preventing maternal deaths is possible, even in resource poor settings BUT this requires the right kind of information on which to base programmes Knowing MMR is not enough need to know the underlying causes and determinants Actions taken based on the findings of these reviews is key to success Intercountry Workshop on Maternal Death Review Kuala Lumpur, 1-4 November 2011
