Maternal mortality rate (MMRate) is the number of maternal deaths in a population divided by the number of women of reproductive age, usually expressed per 1,000 women. [37] Lifetime risk of maternal death is a calculated prediction of a woman's risk of death after each consecutive pregnancy. [38]
[82] In the United States, the maternal death rate averaged 9.1 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births during the years 1979–1986, [83] but then rose rapidly to 14 per 100,000 in 2000 and 17.8 per 100,000 in 2009. [84] In 2013 the rate was 18.5 deaths per 100,000 live births. [85]
Generally, there is a distinction between a direct maternal death that is the result of a complication of the pregnancy, delivery, or management of the two, and an indirect maternal death that is a pregnancy-related death in a woman with a pre-existing or newly developed health problem unrelated to pregnancy.

Race plays a role in maternal mortality. In 2021, the maternal mortality rate for Black women was 69.9 deaths per 100,000 live births. [9] This is 2.6 times the rate for White women. [1] Approximately 1 in 6 Black infants were born in maternity care deserts and 1 in 4 Native American babies were born in maternity care deserts. [1]
