COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
REPORT OF MATERNAL DEATHS PENNSYLVANIA OCCURRENCES, 2017
The Abortion Control Act requires that deaths occurring in Pennsylvania arising from pregnancy, childbirth or intentional abortion be reported to the Department of Health (Department). The official maternal death definition that is used in the Abortion Control Act comes from the World Health Organization (WHO), which defines maternal deaths to be the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and site of the pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management but not from accidental or incidental causes. To be in compliance with the Abortion Control Act, the Department annually compiles a statistical report based upon the data gathered in reports of maternal death. The statistical report is to be available for public inspection and copying. This is the Department's annual statistical report. The following tables are based on the data submitted in reports required by the Abortion Control Act. Another source of information on maternal deaths is death certificates, also filed with the Department.
Questions on the reporting of maternal deaths should be addressed to the Division of Health Informatics, Pennsylvania Department of Health at ra-DHIContactUs@ or 717-782-2448.
