Global Burden of Maternal Disorders and Mortality Among Female Individuals Aged 15–49 Years, 1990–2021
There was a substantial global reduction in maternal mortality between 1990 and 2021; however, Central Sub-Saharan Africa persists as the most critical regional hotspot. Maternal hemorrhage was the leading cause of death. The Sociodemographic index serves as a robust predictor of mortality, necessitating precision-targeted interventions that prioritize geographic regions with both elevated risk and obstetric complications.
