Magnitude of Severe Acute Maternal Morbidity and Associated Factors Related to Abortion: A Cross-Sectional Study in Hawassa University Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Ethiopia, 2019.

Severe acute maternal morbidity and maternal near miss related to abortion are high despite the availability of safe termination. Near-miss cases could be better traced by using reasonably adapted World Health Organization near-miss criteria for sub-Saharan countries. Lack of education, increased gestational age, and delayed presentation had increased severe acute maternal morbidity associated with abortion which may need further education on health care seeking culture of the community.
