This brief focuses on the issue of maternal death in the postpartum period. During 1999-2004, Florida's Pregnancy-Associated Mortality Review classified 234 deaths as pregnancy-related. The majority of these deaths, (76 percent) occurred during the postpartum period. We encourage health care providers to examine their policies and procedures regarding postpartum education and follow-up health assessments, particularly for high risk women.

Pregnancy-Related Mortality Associated with Obesity in Florida 1999 through 2002 -
[PDF, 39KB]
This paper analyzes the association between obesity and maternal mortality in Florida. A matched, case-control analysis was conducted for 115 pregnancy-related deaths occurring in Florida during the years 1999 through 2002. The cases were matched to 460 controls (4 controls per case), based on maternal age, race, education, and marital status. Body mass index (BMI) was used as a measure of obesity. The results indicated that the odds of pregnancy-related death increased significantly with increased levels of BMI. The adjusted-odds ratios ranged from 1.99 (95% CI 1.13 to 3.51) for women classified as overweight (BMI 25.0 to 29.9) to 5.12 (95% CI 2.22 to 11.78) for women classified as obese 3 (BMI of 40 or above). |
