Abstract

The study investigated the role of individual and health facility factors on the risk of obstructed labour and its adverse outcomes in south-western Uganda. A review was performed on 12,463 obstetric records (2006) from six hospitals. It was found that the risk of obstructed labour was statistically significantly associated with residence in a particular district. Individual socio-demographic and health system factors are strongly associated with obstructed labour and its adverse outcomes. The study provides baseline information for policy makers and implementers to improve safe motherhood programmes.
