• Description:
  This issue focuses on topics of reproductive health, including hysterectomy surveillance, pregnancy-related mortality surveillance, and abortion surveillance.
  
  In the United States, approximately 600,000 hysterectomies are performed each year, and the procedure is the second most frequently performed major surgical procedure among reproductive-aged women. Between 1980 and 1993 this surveillance system used data obtained from the CDC's National Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS) to describe the epidemiology of hysterectomy. The NHDS is an annual probability sample of discharges from non-Federal, short-stay hospitals in the United States.
  
  The Healthy People 2000: National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives specifies goals of no more than 3.3 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births overall and no more than 5.0 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births among black women; as of 1990, these goals had not been met. In addition, race-specific differences between black women and white women persist in the risk for pregnancy-related death.
  
  From 1991 through 1994, the number of legal induced abortions reported to CDC declined each year by ≤5% from the number reported for the preceding year.
