The number of women dying each year due to pregnancy or childbirth in the United States has remained steady and some women remain more at risk of death than others, according to a new government report.
In 2018, the year with the most recent national data, a total of 658 women in the United States died while pregnant or within 42 days of the end of pregnancy, according to new data published in the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Vital Statistics Reports released on Thursday.
The new NCHS data reflects"the scale of the public health challenge" the nation faces when it comes to maternal mortality, Dr. Maureen Phipps, CEO of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists or ACOG, said in a written statement."Maternal mortality is a complex problem with disparities in outcomes stemming from many factors, including access to care, standardization of care, bias, and racism.
