Ranked Severe Maternal Morbidity Index for Population-Level Surveillance by Mode of Delivery

Severe maternal morbidity indicator rankings for cesarean and vaginal deliveries were similar; however, there were differences by delivery mode in the performance of the SMM indicators in identifying in-hospital deaths. Our findings underscore the need for the improved documentation and measurement of severe obstetric complications during pregnancy and the postpartum period at the population level.

Abstract

Severe maternal morbidity indicator rankings for cesarean and vaginal deliveries were similar; however, there were differences by delivery mode in the performance of the SMM indicators in identifying in-hospital deaths. Our findings underscore the need for the improved documentation and measurement of severe obstetric complications during pregnancy and the postpartum period at the population level.
