The Michigan Maternal Mortality Surveillance's review committee first convened in 1950. The current committee has 29 members, meets eight times per year, and reviews all pregnancy-associated deaths or any deaths of women with indication of pregnancy up to 365 days, regardless of cause. In 2017, Michigan had 111,507 live births and 11 pregnancy-related deaths. Our mission is to review all maternal deaths to identify factors contributing to the deaths and to recommend clinical, systems and public health interventions or measures that may reduce the number of maternal deaths and improve outcomes.
