Abstract

Background: Primary postpartum hemorrhage continues to be the top leading cause of maternal mortality and morbidity all over the world, contributing about one third of all maternal mortality. Despite its public health importance of this problem, little is known about factors that contribute to primary postpartum hemorrhage especially in Ethiopia. The aim of this study was to assess the risk factors of primary postpartum hemorrhage. Subjects and Method: Hospital based unmatched case control study design was used. The study was conducted in July 2019, among delivered women at Yirgalem general hospital from January 1, 2014 to December 30, 2018; to all cases of primary postpartum hemorrhage (n= 218) and 436 controls selected by using simple random sampling techniques. Women with primary postpartum hemorrhage were cases and women who had not diagnosed for primary postpartum hemorrhage were controls. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were made. Statistical association was measured by AOR and its 95% CI. Results: Incidence of primary postpartum hemorrhage was 221 in 8,506 live births (2.6%) in the study period. Primiparas (AOR= 0.37 ;95% CI= 0.23 to 0.6; p= 0.001), grand multiparas (AOR= 5.80; 95% CI= 2.90 to 11.6; p <0.000) and rural maternal address (AOR= 1.90; 95% CI= 1.20 to 3.00; p= 0.008) were factors that have a statistically significant association with primary postpartum hemorrhage. Conclusion: Parity and rural residence were associated factors. Therefore, the government and other responsible stakeholders should give attention to women with grand multiparas and those women residing in rural area. Immediate identification of risk factors and management might reduce largely the occurrence of primary PPH and related maternal deaths.

Abstract

Background: Early initiation of breastfeeding is the process of letting the baby instinctively breastfeed within the first hour after birth, along with skin-to-skin contact between the baby and the mother's skin which can prevent hypothermia in the baby. This study aims to analyze the relationship between early initiation of breastfeeding and the incidence of hypothermia in infants. Subjects and Method: This is a systematic review and meta-analysis study. Population= Infants aged 0-59 months, Intervention= early initiation of breastfeeding, Comparison= no early initiation of breastfeeding, Outcomes= incidence of hypothermia and diarrhea. Article searched through journal databases include: PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, research gate, and Springerlink. The keywords used are breastfeeding" OR "early initiation of breastfeeding" OR "initiation breast­feeding" AND newborn OR neonatal OR neonate OR infant OR children OR child AND hypothermia OR “low body temperature” OR “low temperature” OR thermoregulation OR “body temperature regulation "AND diarrhea OR diarrhea. Articles were selected with the help of PRISMA flow diagrams. Inclusion criteria included full-text articles with cross-sectional studies, multivariate analysis results in the form of AOR values and published in English from 2011-2021. Eligible articles were analyzed using Revman 5.3 application. Results: Sixteen articles from Ethiopia, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Tanzania, and India were included in the meta-analysis. Meta-analysis in 7 cross-sectional studies showed that early initiation of breastfeeding was able to reduce the risk of hypothermia in infants (aOR= 0.32; 95% CI= 0.21 to 0.48; p<0.001). Meta-analysis in 9 cross-sectional studies showed that early initiation of breastfeeding was able to reduce the risk of diarrhea in infants (aOR = 0.81; 95% CI = 0.76 to 0.86; p<0.001). Conclusion: Early initiation of breastfeeding reduced the risk of hypothermia and diarrhea in infants. Researchers recommend implementing early initiation of breastfeeding in the first hour of birth to prevent the risk of hypothermia and diarrhea in infants.
