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 ...
The research investigates the link between maternal morbidity and social determinants of health. The study's author also mentioned a few risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes that were related to the social determinants of these women's lives. These include the mother's age, any existing health conditions, and so on (Jones et al., 2022).
Black women are more likely to have less than five prenatal visits, which is associated with increased risk of maternal mortality. [36] Late entry to prenatal care and inadequate prenatal care are associated with increased likelihood of preterm birth, increased risk of low birthweight infants, and increased infant mortality.

California has the lowest maternal mortality in the nation — 10.5 per 100,000 live births, less than half the national rate. But that wasn’t the case before it created a “maternal quality ...
The US maternal mortality rate fell from 32.9 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in 2021 to 22.3 per 100,000 in 2022, according to the report, published Thursday by the CDC’s National ...
Maternal mortality in the U.S. While the primary focus of the report is maternal mortality in LMICs, the authors note that the same approaches that work in the developing world can help reduce the ...
Caused by: Unknown, but risk factors include smoking, advanced maternal age, and prior surgery or trauma to the fallopian tubes. Risk factors include untreated pelvic inflammatory disease, likely due to fallopian tube scarring. [41] Treatment: In most cases, keyhole surgery must be carried out to remove the fetus, along with the fallopian tube.
Maternal death rates are on the rise in the U.S., spiking significantly in 2021. Black women in particular are nearly three times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than white women.
