The QoL was assessed using the WHO Quality of Life, BREF Version, questionnaire, which was administered to the consenting participants over phone. Information regarding desire for future fertility, contraceptive choices, and urogenital symptoms was also collected. A comparison between the short\u2010term and long\u2010term effects on the QoL was also done.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A maternal near\u2010miss event was not found to adversely affect the overall quality of life in the present study. The scores in all the four domains\u2014physical, psychological, social relationships, and environmental\u2014suggested good QoL, although greater variability in values were observed in the physical and psychological domains. The influence in these two domains was more pronounced following a perinatal loss and following prolonged physical morbidities. There was no difference in short\u2010 and long\u2010term QoL following a maternal near miss (MNM). The MNM did not influence the contraceptive choices and there was no subsequent pelvic floor dysfunction in most women.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>MNM was not found to adversely affect the overall subsequent QoL in the present study. There was no difference in short\u2010 and long\u2010term QoL following a MNM.
