To present retrospective data for maternal deaths in Greece from 1996 to 2006.
Demographic information and information on the causes of death was provided by the Hellenic Statistical Authority. Maternal deaths were assessed by cause of death, maternal age, and place of residence. The maternal mortality ratio (MMR) was estimated and expressed as the number of deaths per 100,000 live births.
From 1996 to 2006, 29 deaths were attributed to pregnancy and childbirth, yielding a total MMR of 2.63. The leading cause of direct deaths was hemorrhage and that of indirect deaths was cardiac disease. There was a borderline significant decline in the MMR during the study period. The MMR was significantly higher at the extremes of the reproductive age range.
Maternal mortality in Greece is low; however, no formal data have been published since 1996. Knowledge of the causes of maternal death can lead to the prevention of maternal deaths and safer motherhood.
呈现 1996 年至 2006 年希腊孕产妇死亡的回顾性数据。
人口统计信息和死因信息由希腊统计局提供。孕产妇死亡按死因、产妇年龄和居住地进行评估。估计了孕产妇死亡率（MMR），并表示为每 10 万活产儿的死亡人数。
1996 年至 2006 年期间，共有 29 例孕产妇死亡归因于妊娠和分娩，总 MMR 为 2.63。直接死因的主要原因是出血，间接死因是心脏病。在研究期间，MMR 呈边缘显著下降趋势。MMR 在生殖年龄范围的极端处显著更高。
希腊的孕产妇死亡率较低；然而，自 1996 年以来，没有正式公布数据。了解孕产妇死亡的原因可以导致预防孕产妇死亡和更安全的母婴保健。
