Data on 1,018 pregnancy-related deaths among residents of 36 states from 2017–2019 were shared with CDC through the Maternal Mortality Review Information Application (MMRIA). Key findings include: More than half (53%) of pregnancy-related deaths happen up to one year after delivery.  The leading underlying cause of death varied by race and ethnicity. Cardiac and coronary conditions were the leading underlying cause of pregnancy-related deaths among non-Hispanic Black people, mental health conditions were the leading underlying cause for Hispanic and non-Hispanic White people, and hemorrhage was the leading underlying cause for non-Hispanic Asian people. A second report highlights data for American Indian or Alaska Native (AI/AN) people, who are disproportionally impacted by pregnancy-related deaths.
