Maternal Mortality Review Committees are one of the methods employed to measure and address the problem of pregnancy-related death. Reviewing Missouri cases from 2017-2020, 79% of the cases where failure to screen or provide an adequate risk assessment by a health care provider were identified in a pregnancy-related death were determined to be preventable. Recommendations for improvement most commonly addressed issues with assessment of mental health conditions, substance use disorder (SUD), intimate partner violence (IPV), and cardiovascular disease. Although limited, these findings indicate an opportunity for providers to lower the state of Missouri's pregnancy-related mortality ratio.
孕产妇死亡率审查委员会是衡量和解决与妊娠相关死亡问题的方法之一。审查 2017-2020 年密苏里州的案例后发现，79%的与妊娠相关的死亡案例中，医疗服务提供者未能进行筛查或提供充分的风险评估，这些死亡本可以预防。改进建议最常涉及心理健康状况、物质使用障碍（SUD）、亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）和心血管疾病的评估问题。尽管这些发现有限，但表明提供者有机会降低密苏里州的与妊娠相关的死亡率。
