Global, regional, and national levels and trends in maternal mortality, progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals, and mortality from COVID-19 infection in pregnant women, 1990–2023: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023.
GBD 2023 Maternal Mortality Collaborators. The Lancet Obstetrics, Gynaecology, & Women’s Health 2026;:https://doi.org/10.1016/S3050-5038(26)00047-6.
[Global progress on maternal mortality slowed during the early Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) period of 2015–23 and mortality remains high in many locations. We found that 104 of 204 countries and territories have yet to meet the SDG goal of fewer than 70 maternal deaths per 100 000 livebirths. The COVID-19 pandemic increased maternal mortality in the peak pandemic years of 2020 and 2021 in many locations with high COVID-19 mortality.]
