Maternal mortality: New fact sheets from the PHAC

Surveillance results on recent trends in maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity are now available from the Public Health Agency of Canada’s Canadian Perinatal Surveillance System (CPSS). These fact sheets are updates of previous versions which were released in 2011 and provide a means to disseminate up-to-date information on maternal mortality and severe morbidity in Canada.

• Severe maternal morbidity in Canada
  
• Maternal mortality in Canada

In the maternal mortality fact sheet, maternal mortality rates were calculated using hospitalization data rather than vital statistics data as recent work by the agency’s CPSS has shown that hospitalization data are more comprehensive and timely.
