About this trial

Postpartum sepsis is widely known as a preventable main cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 11% of the estimated maternal deaths worldwide were attributed to sepsis. Recent global assessments indicate that obstetric infections rank as the third most prevalent cause of maternal death, with a prevalence mainly observed in low- and middle-income nations.
