Maternal mortality rates in the USA remain high, with persistent racial and socioeconomic disparities. We identified 207,016 hospital admissions for pregnant women in Maryland, from 2017 to 2019. Logistic regression was used to identity factors associated with maternal death. The health outcome for black women was more prone to give rise to maternal mortality than for white women. Our study revealed numerous racial and age discrepancies in gestational health outcomes, which opioid use disorder exacerbated. Our findings elaborate on the importance of identifying the drivers of adverse pregnancy outcomes, to help inform policy, and resource allocations.
美国的孕产妇死亡率仍然很高，存在持续的种族和社会经济差异。我们确定了2017年至2019年马里兰州207,016例孕妇的住院情况。采用逻辑回归来确定与孕产妇死亡相关的因素。黑人女性的健康结局比白人女性更容易导致孕产妇死亡。我们的研究揭示了妊娠健康结局中存在的众多种族和年龄差异，阿片类药物使用障碍加剧了这些差异。我们的研究结果阐述了识别不良妊娠结局驱动因素的重要性，以帮助为政策和资源分配提供信息。
