Significant strides have been made in recent years to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality rates around the world. But in the United States, maternal mortality rates have increased from 6.6/100,000 live births in the 1980s and 1990s to somewhere between 13.3/100,000 live births, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and 21/100,000 live births, as reported by the World Health Organization. This article discusses factors influencing this trend, and explores organizations, systems and programs that have shown promise for reducing maternal morbidity and mortality.
近年来，在降低全球孕产妇发病率和死亡率方面已经取得了重大进展。但在美国，孕产妇死亡率已从20世纪80年代和90年代的每10万例活产6.6例，上升到疾病控制和预防中心报告的每10万例活产13.3例至世界卫生组织报告的每10万例活产21例之间的某个水平。本文讨论了影响这一趋势的因素，并探讨了在降低孕产妇发病率和死亡率方面显示出前景的组织、系统和项目。
