Abstract
The causes of maternal mortality are direct or indirect. It is important to investigate the causes of maternal mortality as maternal mortality is an indicator of nation health. Reviewing and analyzing the causes of maternal deaths we can find out areas to improve our health care system and this is crucial for reduction in maternal mortality. The aim of the study is to determine the causes of maternal mortality in Shalamar hospital Lahore. Method: Study conducted for the duration of one year from January 2018 to February 2019 in Shalamar hospital Lahore. All the pregnant ladies who became seriously ill during pregnancy and shifted to intensive care unit of hospital for management were included in the study. Causes of critical illness and outcome of critically ill pregnant ladies who were shifted to intensive care units were determined. Results: During study period 24 patients shifted to ICU. Out of these 22 were discharged and 2 were expired in ICU. Cause of death is hepatitis E leading to hepatic failure in both patients. Conclusion: Hepatitis E infection in pregnancy is associated with poor maternal outcome
