1 Maternal Mortality: What To Measure? Deborah Maine, DrPH AMDD Program, Columbia University Maternal Health Symposium Tokyo, June 2003
2 MDG Goal: Improve maternal health Target: Reduce the MM Ratio by 3/4 by 2015 Indicators: Maternal mortality ratio Proportion of births attended by skilled health personnel
3 Maternal Maternal Mortality Health
4 Measuring Progress Impact Indicators (MM Ratios and Rates) or Process Indicators???
5 Impact Indicators: Practical Limitations vital registration: lack of data misclassification survey: sample size cost confidence intervals
6 Data Sources (% countries) 1995 UN MMR Estimates Europe Americas Asia & Pacific n = 50 n = n = A Middle East & N. Africa n = Sub- Saharan Africa n = 44 Good Vital Registration Poor Vital Registration Sisterhood Estimates RAMOS No National Data
7 % of Maternal Deaths Missing from Official Records Percent * USA (1) Menoufia, Egypt (2) England & Wales (3) * Pregnancy-related deaths (direct + indirect obstetric Sources: (1) = Berg et al 1996, (2) = Grubb et al, (3) = Turnball et al 1989
8 Comparison of Maternal Mortality Survey Methods Study People No. Deaths MM* Ratio Years Covered Conventional Survey: Ethiopia 9, Sisterhood Survey: Gambia 2, ** Maternal deaths per 100,000 live birthssources: Kwast et al, 1985; Graham, Bass and Snow, 1988; Boerma and Mati, ** Midpoint in study period = 10 years in past
9 MMR (deaths/100,000 live births) ,005 (point estimate) Maternal mortality ratios using the sisterhood method: 95% confidence intervals and point estimates *Data from the Gambia (Graham et al., 1989) Actual estimate* 50% decline 25% decline
10 Impact Indicators: Limitations in Interpretation: The gold standard? Tracking changes Relevance to action
11 Process Indicators The crucial point is the Strength of causal chain
12 The UN Process Indicators UNICEF / WHO / UNFPA, 1997 Measure the availability and utilization of emergency obstetric care (EmOC)
13 Signal Functions of Basic EmOC 1-3. parenteral antibiotics, oxytocic drugs anitconvulsants 4. manual removal of placenta 5. removal of retained products (e.g. MVA) 6. assisted vaginal delivery
14 Signal Functions of Comprehensive EmOC Basic EmOC ( signal functions 1-6) plus 7. blood transfusion 8. surgery (e.g. C-section)
15 UN Process Indicators Geographical coverage Are there enough functioning EmOC? Are they well distributed? For every 500,000 population, there should be: At least 4 Basic EmOC facilities. At least 1 Comprehensive EmOC facility.
16 UN Process Indicators (cont.) Utilization of services: Are enough women using these facilities? At least 15% of pregnant women deliver in and EmOC facility Are women with complicationos using these facilities? Met Need: 100% of women estimated to develop complications should receive EmOC
17 UN Process Indicators (cont.) Are enough critical services being provided? Cesarean sections should be at least 5% (and not more than 15%) Of all births in the population (not just in the facility)
18 UN Process Indicators (cont.) Is the quality of the services adequate? Case-fatality rate should be less than 1% (deaths in facility among women treated for obstetric complications)
19 Benefits of Process Indicators Less expensive: don t require population surveys; use facility records More valid : permit rechecking of data permit cross-checking
20 Benefits of Process Indicators Promote action: emphasize functioning emphasize coverage More useful: can change quickly illuminate needs, progress
21 Met Need for EmOC: % 90% 19% 9% 33% 8% 31% 23% 12% 75% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Bhutan* Rajasthan, India Morocco* Mozambique Nicaragua Peru Senegal* Sri Lanka
22 Baseline Data: UN Process Indicators (* = national) Country/ Area Comp. EmOC Basic EmOC Met Need Cesar. Sect. Senegal * 6% 12% 1.1% Rajasthan 31% 37% 9% 1.2% Bhutan * 80% 19% 1.3% Peru 0% 23% 4.7%
23 Rajasthan, India (UNFPA Project): Availability of EmOC Facilities CEOC BEOC
24 EmOC Facilities in Bhutan 3/00, 9/02
25 MDG Goal: Improve maternal health Target: Reduce the MM Ratio by 3/4 by 2015 Indicators: Maternal mortality ratio Proportion of births attended by skilled health personnel
26 2500 Skilled Attendant at Delivery and MMR, all countries Country n=170 Maternal Mortality Ratio (per 100,000 live births) R 2 = % Skilled Attendant at Delivery Source: Safe Motherhood Initiative website and Maternal Mortality in 1995: Estimates developed by WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA (2001)
