A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at University Clinics in Kinshasa to describe socio-demographic factors favoring obstructed labor. The survey data included deliveries during the period from January 1 to December 31, 2012. The results of our analyzes included 346 deliveries. Three most significant variables are associated with dystocia at the error threshold of 5%: the low level of education (X2: 29,12), the low attendance at prenatal consultation is less than 3 CPN (X2: 4, 95), and admission to maternity in indirect mode (X2: 5.82). This study shows that socio-demographic factors are particularly important for obstructed labor and increase the risk of maternal death.
Author Keywords: Factors of dystocia, childbirth, dystocia, maternal death.

Abstract: (french)
Une étude descriptive transversale a été réalisée aux Cliniques Universitaires de Kinshasa pour décrire les facteurs socio-démographiques favorisants les accouchements dystociques. Les données de l’enquête ont concerné les accouchements survenus à la période du 1er janvier au 31 décembre 2012. Les résultats de nos analyses ont porté sur 346 accouchements. Trois variables les plus significatives sont associées à la dystocie au seuil d’erreur de 5 % : le faible niveau d’instruction (X2 : 29,12), la faible fréquentation à la consultation prénatale soit moins de 3 CPN (X2 : 4,95), et l’admission à la maternité en mode indirecte (X2 : 5,82). Il ressort de cette étude que les facteurs socio-démographiques ont une importance particulière sur les accouchements dystociques et augmentent les risques de décès maternel.
Author Keywords: Facteurs de dystocie, accouchement, dystocie, décès maternel.
