Maternal mortality rates in the United States have continued to climb, even as the chance of pregnancy-related death has fallen in nearly every other country on earth. Compared with other wealthy nations, the failure of the U.S. in this essential metric of women’s health is particularly striking.
The findings come from a new data analysis conducted by the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. Researchers noted that the deaths have paradoxically corresponded with a period of supposed improvement in the quality of healthcare in the United States.
“The first time I saw our results for the United States, I thought there must be some error,” researcher Nicholas J. Kassebaum said. “I actually started looking for what went wrong in the data processing.”
The data held up, however – and are in line with other recent analyses showing that this is the most deadly time in recent history to be pregnant in the United States.
