At-risk selection and outcome studied at the Kibara Hospital antenatal clinic in Tanzania.
328 pregnant women living around and attending the Kibara Hospital antenatal clinic in rural Tanzania were followed-up. 26.2% were found to be at-risk. Of 'normal' pregnancies 24% delivered under trained supervision as against 40% of at-risk pregnancies. Of complicated deliveries in both groups 60% were supervised though at-risk pregnancies had a four times higher rate of complications at delivery. 87% of at-risk pregnancies were recognized at the antenatal clinic, but this often did not result in improved care and outcome at birth.
