Description:

The Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance System was initiated in 1987 by CDC in collaboration with state health departments and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Maternal Mortality Study Group. This system works with states to monitor pregnancy-related deaths and to identify risk factors for pregnancy-related deaths from specific causes. Therefore, PMSS permits increased precision in measuring the magnitude of pregnancy-related mortality and identifying the groups at increased risk of death than do systems relying on death certificate data alone.
