Why Perinatal Mortality Cannot be a Proxy for Maternal Mortality
In recent years, the perinatal mortality rate (PNMR) has been proposed as a proxy measure of maternal mortality, because perinatal deaths are more frequent and potentially more easily measured. This report assesses evidence for an association between these two statistics. This study, based upon data from Matlab, Bangladesh, shows that the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) and the PNMR do not vary together over time, and that the PNMR does not reliab…
Why did Maternal Mortality Decline in Matlab
In 1991, an article on the Maternity Care Program in Matlab, Bangladesh, reported a substantial decline in direct obstetric deaths in the intervention area, but not in the control area. The decline was attributed primarily to the posting of midwives at the village level. In this article, data are presented from the same period and area on a variety of intermediate events. They indicate that the decline in deaths was probably due to the combined e…
Risks and rights
This paper describes the multiple ways that the concept of risk is used in the health field, looking specifically at maternal mortality, contraceptive mortality and morbidity, and HIV/AIDS. Although risk data are often presented as objective and neutral, the paper shows how decisions about policies, programmes and individual treatment inevitably require value-laden choices to be made. It argues that reproductive rights principles should play a cr…
