| Abstract | A maternal death follows a registerable live birth or stillbirth at or more than 24 weeks of gestation. Maternal deaths are classified as direct (e.g. haemorrhage), indirect (e.g. cardiac) or coincidental (e.g. accidents). They can occur in pregnancy, within 42 days of delivery (early) or after 42 days to 1 year (late). Caution is needed when comparing international maternal mortality rates because the inclusion of indirect and late maternal deaths inflates the UK rates. In the UK, maternal mortality rates began to decline sharply in the 1930s. The direct rate has decreased over the years of the CEMD. The indirect rate has increased as a result of improved case ascertainment. |
