The study used vital registration and census data from 1999 to 2019 to estimate maternal mortality rates, which refers to the number of women who die from pregnancy-related causes per 100,000 live births. Previous efforts to study maternal mortalities over time have been hampered by differences in how states collect and report data.
In 2019, 301 of 100,000 Indigenous women who gave birth died from pregnancy-related causes, researchers found. That's compared to 34 Black women, 33 Asian and Pacific Islander women, 29 white women and 18 Hispanic women. It's more than four times higher than the national mortality rate for American Indian and Alaska Native women.
Researchers argue the "profound disparity" observed among Native American women across the country calls for a national approach to solving the issue.
