The adult lifetime risk of maternal mortality can be derived using either the maternal mortality ratio (MMR), or the maternal mortality rate (MMRate). [ 37 ] Proportion of maternal deaths among deaths of women of reproductive age (PM) is the number of maternal deaths in a given time period divided by the total deaths among women aged 15–49 years.
[42] [43] In 2014, the maternal mortality was 258 for every 100,000 births, the lowest rate ever experienced in Nepal.
