Reducing Maternal Mortality in the United States

Every year in the United States over 700 women die from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth, and more than 50,000 women experience life-threatening complications (severe maternal morbidity incidence). The maternal mortality rate in the United States in the year 2000 has more than doubled between 2000 and 2000. In 2014, the number of deaths per 100,000 births was 8 to 21.5 people, and 157 out of 183 countries reported by the World Health Organization (WHO) reported a decrease in maternal mortality. Maternal Mortality Data In 2014, the United States is ranked 30th after Mexico, ranked 30th, more than three times higher than Canada and the UK 2 At the same time, racial / ethnic, socioeconomic and geographical differences still exist 1. Women in America are almost three times more likely to die from complications of pregnancy and childbirth than white women (56.3 per 100,000 deaths of maternal deaths in 2013 died of 20.3 maternal deaths) - 2014). It will not shrink for decades

Due to the wide variety of data around the world, it is difficult to determine the causes of maternal deaths in the United States compared to other countries. Therefore, interstate maternal mortality rates in the United States are compared. Maternal mortality rate is the deaths per 100,000 births caused by any cause related to pregnancy every year. For this analysis, a horizontal bar graph method was carried out. It provides a very clear comparison between each state. As shown in Figure 16, the District of Columbia, Georgia and New Jersey are the top three states with the highest maternal mortality rate. For example, the average in the United States is 19 and the District of Columbia is 40.

Between 2000 and 2013, maternal mortality in the US increased by more than 25%. Detailed investigation of the cause of isolated death is necessary to reduce the maternal deaths during childbirth. Along with the rapid increase in big data and applications, we predict who is at risk of death, what kind of measures can prevent death by collecting, analyzing and comparing causes and factors of a specific mother I can do it. It will help develop targeted clinical and public health prevention programs

Many countries have organized extensive efforts to reduce maternal mortality. In the UK and France maternal deaths were reviewed nationwide, detailed analysis of clinical events and identification of areas for future improvement were made. These findings have changed the practice and spread nationwide clinical recommendations expected to reduce the risk of maternal mortality in the future. For example, after determining that pulmonary embolism is the leading cause of maternal death in the UK, efforts to increase the use of mechanical prevention and drug prevention to prevent deep vein thrombosis have been made nationwide There.
