On the other hand, caesarean section increased from 3(1.5 %) in ‘O†risk mothers to 25 (40.4%) in 7 + risk score mothers.

Out of a total of 777 mothers, 222 (28.5%) had postnatal complications. In ‘O†risk group, out of 195 mothers only 24 (12.3 %) had postnatal complications, while 37 (59.7 %) out of 62 had complications in 7 + group. The maternal mortality rate was 1.3 / 1000 live births.
