Article Synopsis
- The study examines severe acute maternal morbidity (SAMM) in Abu Dhabi, a rapidly developing multiethnic region, to assess maternal care quality and its relationship with ethnicity.
- Over six years, researchers analyzed 122,705 births and identified 926 cases of SAMM, resulting in a ratio of 7.5 cases per 1,000 deliveries, with hypertensive disorders and hemorrhage as the leading causes.
- The findings highlight distinct ethnic differences in maternal health issues, revealing that preeclampsia is more prevalent in women from the Indian subcontinent while hemorrhage is more common among UAE women, indicating complex interactions between ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and health outcomes. *

Material & Methods: Data on all maternal deaths over a six year period from 1998 to 2003 were abstracted and reviewed by a panel of experts to assign the cause if in doubt, and to determine whether the deaths were preventable.
