Study of Cardiac Maternal Mortality in Iraq

Background: The postpartum phase begins immediately after the child's delivery and typically lasts six to eight weeks, ending when the mother's body is nearly back to its pre-pregnancy form. The weeks following childbirth create the groundwork for both the woman's and her baby's long-term health and well-being. Objective: This paper aims to study of cardiac maternal mortality patients in Iraq. Patients and Methods: Data were collected retrospectively through reviews of electronic medical records or electronic hospital records, and discharge data for all cardiac maternal mortality patients from different hospitals in Iraq between 4th July 2021 to 7th January 2022, who were >25 years of age or older. These data were designed with two groups where the first group was represented with cardiac maternal mortality patients that explain women patients who have cardiac maternal and struggled during while the second group was represented control group explain the patients' group who could treated of it. A statistical study was conducted for cardiac maternal mortality patients using the SPSS program. Results and Discussions: Several studies in England and the Netherlands and Germany revealed an increase in maternal mortality owing to cardiovascular illness during the last decade. Severe morbidity from cardiovascular illnesses is expected to rise as well. This corresponds to cardiac risk factors such as higher mother age and obesity in the overall Dutch population. Cardiovascular problems occurred in 11% of pregnancies in women with different forms of CHD. As well as Comorbidities, it got results highest diabetes type 2 was found in 24 (33.33%) for the cardiac maternal mortality patients’ group and 18 (32.14%) for the control patients’ group with a p-value of 0.0496. Furthermore, this study described the disadvantages of cardiac were discovered that Hypokinetic cardiomyopathy got 26 (36.11%) and heart failure 11 (15.28%). Besides to that, this study is evaluated maternal mortality outcomes according to cardiac events where hypokinetic cardiomyopathy found a number of cardiac maternal mortality (5) with 6.94%. Conclusion: Cardiovascular disease is a rare cause of severe maternal morbidity with a high mortality rate. Previous studies in England have shown that most heart disorders develop during pregnancy, childbirth, or the puerperium in women without pre-existing heart disease. In 13% of cases, a serious adverse event from medication may have a critical role in the development of complications. This study found that maternal mortality outcomes according to cardiac events where hypokinetic cardiomyopathy found a number of cardiac maternal mortality (5) with 6.94%
