Adanya:

The Florida Department of Health has two methods to collect information about maternal mortality:

1) Vital Statistics collects and publishes data about maternal mortality using the World Health Organization definition of maternal death as the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and site of the pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management but not from accidental or incidental causes.

2) Florida Pregnancy Associated Mortality Review (PAMR) committee identifies pregnancy-related deaths (PRDs) as the death of a woman directly attributed to pregnancy and/or childbirth while she is pregnant or within one year of termination of pregnancy. All PRDs are collected through the Maternal Mortality Review Information Application (MMRIA). MMRIA is an electronic data system designed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to support standardized data collection and help Maternal Mortality Review committees organize available data and begin the critical steps necessary to comprehensively identify, access, and abstract cases. The PAMR team began using the new MMRIA system for PAMR case abstraction and review in 2018.

Thank you,
DOH Communications
