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. *
