Mortality Following Childbirth in Ontario: A 20-Year Analysis of Temporal Trends and Causes
Most deaths within 1 year of childbirth are not related to obstetrical factors; however, pregnancy complications factor in early deaths. Causes of early and late deaths differ, but examining late deaths is equally important to identify factors not regularly examined in maternal mortality. As death in early pregnancy or outside hospitals is not reported, mortality is likely higher.
