      Astounding: a woman giving birth in the United States is ten times more likely to die than a woman giving birth in New Zealand. https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/issue-briefs/2020/nov/maternal-mortality-maternity-care-us-compared-10-countries …pic.twitter.com/1TF5bKt3Ob

      Worth noting that quite a bit of this difference can be explained by how the US (left) vs NZ (right) - and most other OECD countries - records maternal mortalitypic.twitter.com/AQIMRzvAD1

          Also there is likely some noise in the data collection itself that may contribute to uncertainty of the estimate:https://thehealthcareblog.com/blog/2019/12/03/maternal-mortality-separating-signal-from-noise/ …

          Per the reference cited in the original tweet, only 12% of US maternal deaths occur between 43 days and 1 year. So the US number would still be 15.4 per 100k if compared like for like. I actually can't tell from the ref that the 17.4 per 100k isn't the 42 day figure for the US.

          So mortality that results from sequelae of postpartum preeclampsia, stroke or say an infection is not counted as maternal mortality in NZ if it doesn’t occur within 42 days of birth? Huh.

          No, if you have read the article, you would know it clearly states that there are different definitions used in the US but this chart compares maternal mortality only, not pregnancy related deaths as you alluded to. This data corresponded to the CDC repot in Jan.
