Objective: To assess genital tract sepsis-related maternal mortality in The Netherlands during 1983-1992. Study design: A nationwide Confidential Enquiry into the causes of maternal death. Results: Genital tract sepsis-related maternal mortality during 1983-1987 was 0.11 per 100000 live births (1/893998) and 0.93 per 100000 live births (9/968990) during 1988-1992. The relative risk of dying due to sepsis in the second 5-year period as compared to the first period was 10.1 (1/72 versus 9/72 maternal deaths; 95% CI 1.3-82.3; P < 0.01). Conclusions: Also in The Netherlands an increase of death due to genital tract sepsis has been observed since the 1980s. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
