Description:

Approximately 700 women across the United States (U.S.) die each year as a result of pregnancy or pregnancy-related complications. Non-Hispanic black women experience maternal deaths at a rate three to four times that of non-Hispanic white women, a racial disparity that is mirrored across many maternal and infant outcomes. While surveillance using vital statistics can tell us about trends and disparities, state and local maternal mortality review committees (MMRC) are best positioned to comprehensively assess maternal deaths and identify opportunities for prevention. The Maternal Mortality Review Information Application (MMRIA) and its precursor, the Maternal Mortality Review Data System (MMRDS), assist MMRCs in abstracting relevant data from a diversity of sources, documenting committee decisions for each reviewed maternal death, and analyzing data for action. Using data from nine MMRCs (hereafter, the Nine Committees), this updated and expanded report includes—for the first time—recommendations for prevention, discussion of severe maternal morbidity review, and novel work on a MMRIA socio-spatial dashboard to incorporate health equity into MMRC discussions.
