Hot Off the Press
The Nebraska Department of Health and Services released the Maternal Mortality Review Committee Report for 2017-2021 this month. From 2017-2021, 50 Nebraska women died while pregnant or within one year after the end of pregnancy. Non-Hispanic Black women in Nebraska experienced the highest pregnancy-associated mortality ratio (PAMR), with 110.2 deaths per 100,000 live births, representing 7.5% of total live births but 20% of pregnancy-associated deaths. Twenty-eight percent of maternal deaths were due to a pregnancy complication, 93% of which were found to be preventable.
