Three in five pregnancy-related deaths in the U.S. can be prevented, according to a new report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Pregnancy-related deaths can occur up to a year after a woman gives birth, according to the report released Tuesday. Of the 700 pregnancy-related deaths that occur in the U.S. each year, about 31% happen during pregnancy, 36% happen during delivery or the week after birth and 33% occur one week to one year after delivery, the report states.
The leading causes of death varied by the timing of the mother's death, according to the report. Obstetric emergencies such as severe bleeding and amniotic fluid embolism, when the fluid enters a mother's bloodstream, caused the most deaths during delivery. The week after delivery, severe bleeding, high blood pressure and infection were most common causes of death. Between one week and one year after delivery, cardiomyopathy, or weakened heart muscle, caused the most deaths.
The findings resulted from a CDC analysis of national data on pregnancy mortality between between 2011 and 2015, as well as detailed data from 13 state maternal mortality review committees. Ensuring quality care for mothers throughout pregnancy and postpartum"should be among our Nation's highest priorities," CDC Director Robert R. Redfield said in a statement.
