    Reproductive mortality, including deaths from pregnancy and childbirth, was measured in Egypt and Indonesia. Complications of pregnancy and childbirth were leading causes of death for women aged 15-49.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Demography
    • Reproductive Health

    Background:

    • Reproductive mortality measurement is established in developed nations but lacking in developing countries.
    • Developing countries often face high maternal mortality rates.
    • This study addresses the gap in reproductive mortality data for developing regions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To estimate reproductive mortality rates in specific regions of Egypt and Indonesia.
    • To identify the leading causes of reproductive mortality in these areas.
    • To analyze the contribution of contraception to reproductive mortality.

    Main Methods:

    • Data collection from one governorate in Egypt and one province in Indonesia.
    • Calculation of reproductive mortality per 100,000 married women aged 15-49.

  • Analysis of causes of death, including pregnancy, childbirth, and contraception-related mortality.

    • Main Results:

    • Reproductive mortality was 46 per 100,000 in Egypt and 70 per 100,000 in Indonesia.
    • Complications of pregnancy and childbirth were primary causes of death in both locations.
    • Contraception accounted for 2.2% of deaths in Egypt and 1.4% in Indonesia.

    Conclusions:

    • Reproductive mortality is a significant issue in the studied Egyptian and Indonesian regions.
    • Pregnancy and childbirth complications are major drivers of mortality in reproductive-aged women.
    • Further research and interventions are needed to reduce reproductive mortality in developing countries.
