Different health organisations define maternal mortality in slightly different ways. Maternal death, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), is the passing away of a pregnant person as a result of pregnancy-related problems, underlying conditions made worse by the pregnancy, or the treatment of these disorders. This can happen either while the woman is still pregnant or six weeks after the pregnancy has ended. The one-year window following the termination of the pregnancy is added to the definition of pregnancy-related fatalities by the CDC. All fatalities that take place within a year of the resolution of a pregnancy are considered pregnancy-associated deaths. To determine whether the pregnancy was a direct or indirect contributing cause of the death, it is critical to identify pregnancy-related fatalities.
