[quote=Anonymous]Where You Live Determines Risk of Severe Pregnancy, Postpartum Complications

A new study found that Washington, DC had the highest rate of severe maternal morbidity in the country—nearly three times as high as Utah, the state with the lowest rate.

The chance of experiencing life-threating complications from pregnancy, childbirth, or the postpartum period may depend on where you live in the United States, according to a new study led by a School of Public Health researcher.

Published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology, the study examined maternal health outcomes among Medicaid insurance recipients and found that rates of severe maternal morbidity (SMM), or “near miss” deaths, varied substantially by state and by race/ethnicity.

Across the country, SMM rates were highest in Washington, DC, at 200 cases per 10,000 live births—nearly three times as high as Utah, the state with the lowest SMM rate, at 80 cases per 10,000 live births.
