Ohio Pregnancy-Associated Mortality Review (PAMR) first convened in 2011. The committee has 52 members, meets 3-4 times per year and reviews all pregnancy-associated deaths. In the most recent year of reviews completed (2017), Ohio had 137,520 live births and 40 pregnancy-related deaths. Our mission is to review all pregnancy-associated deaths of Ohio residents.
