Pregnancy-Associated Mortality
Maternal mortality is widely considered an indicator of overall population health and the status of women in the population. DOHMH uses multiple methods including death certificates, vital records linkage, medical examiner records, and hospital discharge data to identify all pregnancy-associated deaths (deaths that occur during pregnancy or within a year of the end of pregnancy) of New York state residents in NYC each year. DOHMH convenes the Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee (M3RC), a multidisciplinary and diverse group of 40 members that conducts an in-depth, expert review of each pregnancy-associated death of New York state residents occurring in NYC from both clinical and social determinants of health perspectives. The data in this table come from vital records and the M3RC review process. Data are not cross-classified on all variables: cause of death data are available by the relation to pregnancy (pregnancy-related, pregnancy-associated but not related, unable to determine), race/ethnicity and borough of residence data are each separately available for the total number of pregnancy-associated deaths and pregnancy-related deaths only.

Freshness
The publisher's promise
How the agency that publishes this data says it keeps the data current.
OverdueNo automatic refresh
- Automatic refresh
No scheduled refresh runs for this dataset. A refresh you ask for on this page runs anyway.
The publisher set a regular schedule for this dataset but has not updated it for far longer than that schedule, so the automatic queue skips it. An hourly triage lifts this fence once the publisher updates it again, which takes up to about 7 hours 15 minutes.

Columns
Each source column, with the name and type we use to store it.
0 of 6 columns carry a concept; 6 carry a description from the publisher. Read the concept column before you join. A column with no concept carries no claim from us, and a name that looks like a key is not one.
