Maternal Mortality Rate per 100,000 Live Births
What does this measure?
This indicator measures the maternal mortality rate, which is the number of maternal deaths per 100,000 live births. It is used to track the safety of childbirth and pregnancy outcomes over time. The data is provided for several other Hudson Valley counties in New York State across multiple three-year periods, as well as the number of maternal deaths for each period.
Summary Statement
The data indicates an inconsistent trend in mortality rates throughout the mid-Hudson region across the recorded time periods. Many counties, including Sullivan and Ulster, consistently reported zero maternal deaths, resulting in a rate of 0.0 throughout the provided years. Meanwhile, other counties like Rockland and Orange exhibited highly variable rates. For instance, Rockland reported a high of 44.9 per 100,000 live births in the 2019-2021 period, and Putnam had a high of 37.7 in the 2020-2022 period.
