The Utah Perinatal Mortality Review (PMR) first convened in 1995. The committee has 41 members, meets monthly, and reviews maternal deaths and infant deaths due to perinatal conditions. In 2018, Utah had 47,211 live births, and 22 total maternal deaths. Of these, 11 were pregnancy-related, and 11 were pregnancy-associated but not related. The Perinatal Mortality Review Committee's mission is to determine the factors contributing to maternal and infant mortality in Utah and identify interventions to improve systems of care.

Best Practice Submission on Project ECHO in Utah
AMCHP
2016
In deciding on a priority for moving PMR findings into population action, we compared published data on Utah maternal deaths from 1995-2002 to deaths between 2005 and 2012. The top five causes of maternal death in Utah were embolism, overdose/drug toxicity, hemorrhage, cardiac conditions and infection. We evaluated evidence-based interventions for these top causes and ultimately focused on implementing the recommendations from the Obstetric Hemorrhage Safety Bundle from the National Partnership for Maternal Safety.
