The committee has 13 members, meets two to three times annually, and reviews all pregnancy-associated deaths (All deaths of women while pregnant or within on year of the end of pregnancy, due to any cause). In 2020, Our the State of Iowa had 37,597 live births and 5 pregnancy-related deaths. Our mission is to identify pregnancy-associated deaths, review those caused by pregnancy complications and other associated causes, and identify the factors contributing to these deaths and recommend public health and clinical interventions that may reduce these deaths and improve systems of care.
