Latest MBRRACE-UK Figures for Maternal and Perinatal Mortality in the UK: Nuffield Department of Population Health Report

The Nuffield Department of Population Health recently released its latest report on maternal and perinatal mortality in the UK. The report, which was commissioned by MBRRACE-UK (Mothers and Babies: Reducing Risk through Audits and Confidential Enquiries across the UK), provides an in-depth analysis of maternal and perinatal mortality in the UK over the past decade.

Key Findings

The report found that the maternal mortality rate in the UK has decreased from 8.5 deaths per 100,000 maternities in 2009-11 to 6.9 deaths per 100,000 maternities in 2015-17. The perinatal mortality rate has also decreased from 7.3 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2009-11 to 6.2 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2015-17.

Risk Factors

The report also highlighted several risk factors associated with maternal and perinatal mortality. These include age, ethnicity, deprivation, and pre-existing medical conditions. The report found that women aged 40 and over were more likely to die from maternal causes than women aged 20-29, and that Black and Asian women were more likely to die from maternal causes than White women.

Conclusion

The report provides an important insight into maternal and perinatal mortality in the UK. It highlights the need for further research into the risk factors associated with maternal and perinatal mortality, and for targeted interventions to reduce the risk of maternal and perinatal mortality in the UK. #maternalhealth #perinatalmortality #mortalityrates #maternalmortality #UKhealth
