Daily News | 80% of pregnancy-related deaths are preventable, CDC says, highlighting a problem seen in Philly
while pregnant or in the year after giving birth between 2013 and 2018, according the most recent figures from a city committee tasked with combating a persistent problem exacerbated by racial disparities.
While much of the efforts to reduce maternal mortality have been focused on the time immediately before, during, and after birth, of equal concern is what happens in the weeks and months after the new family returns home. In Philadelphia, where the maternal mortality rate exceeds the national average, more than half of the 110 pregnancy-associated deaths between 2013 and 2018 occurred at least six weeks after birth, according to an analysis by the city’s own maternal mortality review committee.
Mental health conditions were a factor in 23% of pregnancy-related deaths between 2017 and 2019, the CDC reported. That includes deaths related to suicide, drug overdoses,Other leading underlying conditions included: excessive bleeding , heart conditions, infection, blood clots, and high blood pressure.
