Comparison of socioeconomic and demographic risk factors for maternal and nonmaternal deaths using logistic regression model

Characteristics	Nonmaternal death frequency (%)	Maternal death frequency (%)	Total	OR (95% CI)	p-value
Age group (years)
>30	177	39	216	1.86	0.03*

Total	265	75	340
Marital status

Married	171	52	223	(0.45–1.44)

Occupation
Employed	186	36	222	2.55	0.001*
Unemployed	79	39	118	(1.46–4.45)
Total	265	75	340

Notes:

^*Statistically significant (p<0.05). Women who are older (>30 years) are 1.86 times more likely to experience nonmaternal death than younger women (≤30 years) (OR =1.86, 95% CI =1.07–3.23; p=0.03). Also, women who are either employed/self-employed are 2.55 times more likely to experience nonmaternal death than unemployed women (OR =2.55, 95% CI =1.46–4.45; p=0.001). There was no statistical significant association between marital status and form of death.

Abbreviation: OR, odds ratio.
