Maternal death and postpartum hemorrhage in sub-Saharan Africa - A pilot study in metropolitan Mozambique

Maternal mortality in sub-Saharan Africa is approximately 500 to 1000 per 100 000 births (vs. approximately 5-20 in developed countries). Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is deemed responsible for 30% to 50% of the deaths. Objective: To study PPH, risk factors, and mortality in metropolitan Mozambique to inf...

Need for active cardiovascular screening in HIV-infected children under antiretroviral therapy in Africa
