Pregnancy-related deaths can happen up to a year after birth and are preventable in the majority of cases, according to a new report.
These deaths include those caused by a pregnancy complication, events triggered by pregnancy or the worsening of an underlying condition due to the effects of pregnancy on the body.
Researchers at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention analyzed national data reported to the agency's Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance System between 2011 and 2015. They also examined detailed data from the Maternal Mortality Review Committee in 13 states gathered between 2013 and 2017. From 2011 to 2015, there were a total of 3,410 pregnancy-related deaths in the United States, consistent with known rates of about 700 deaths per year.
"No single intervention is sufficient; reducing pregnancy-related deaths requires reviewing and learning from each death, improving women's health, and reducing social inequities across the life span, as well as ensuring quality care for pregnant and postpartum women," the report says. Barfield said in a statement that"By identifying and promptly responding to warning signs not just during pregnancy, but even up to a year after delivery, we can save lives.
