Despite dramatic declines in maternal mortality in North Carolina since the late 1940s, public health officials have continued to characterize the magnitude of and risk factors for maternal death in that state (1,2). In 1989 and 1990, the State Center for Health and Environmental Statistics enhanced its surveillance for maternal mortality by computer-matching birth and fetal-death records with the death certificates of females who had died in 1988 and 1989. This report summarizes the findings of this enhanced surveillance for 1988 and 1989.
自20世纪40年代末以来，北卡罗来纳州的孕产妇死亡率显著下降，但公共卫生官员仍在继续描述该州孕产妇死亡的规模和风险因素(1,2)。1989年和1990年，州卫生与环境统计中心通过将出生和胎儿死亡记录与1988年和1989年死亡女性的死亡证明进行计算机匹配，加强了对孕产妇死亡率的监测。本报告总结了1988年和1989年这种强化监测的结果。
