MMR meaning in Medical ?

Answer:

What is Maternal Mortality Rate mean?

Maternal death or maternal mortality is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as "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." These maternal deaths are divided into two categories: direct obstetric deaths and indirect obstetric deaths. The latter are deaths for which there was a preexisting disease that was aggravated by the pregnancy.

Another WHO classification is pregnancy related deaths which include both direct and indirect deaths that occur after 42 days but less than one year after the pregnancy outcome. The CDC definition of pregnancy-related deaths extends the period of consideration to include up to one year from the end of a pregnancy regardless of the outcome. Pregnancy associated death, as defined by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), are all deaths occurring within one year of a pregnancy outcome, without consideration of any causal effect. Identification of pregnancy associated deaths is a precursor for investigations into whether or not the pregnancy was a direct or indirect contributing cause of the death.

Two performance indicators used interchangeably are maternal mortality ratio and maternal mortality rate, both abbreviated as "MMR". By 2017, the world maternal mortality rate had declined 44% since 1990, but still every day 808 women die from pregnancy or childbirth related causes. According to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) 2017 report, this is equivalent to "about one woman every two minutes and for every woman who dies, 20 or 30 encounter complications with serious or long-lasting consequences. Most of these deaths and injuries are entirely preventable."

UNFPA estimated that 303,000 women died of pregnancy or childbirth related causes in 2015. These causes range from severe bleeding to obstructed labor, for which there are highly effective interventions. As women have gained access to family planning and skilled birth attendant with backup emergency obstetric care, the global maternal mortality ratio has fallen from 385 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in 1990 to 216 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2015, and many countries halved their maternal death rates in the last 10 years.

Although attempts have been made to reduce maternal mortality, there is much room for improvement, particularly in impoverished regions. Over 85% of maternal deaths are in impoverished communities in Africa and Asia. The effect of a mother's death results in vulnerable families. Their infants, if they survive childbirth, are more likely to die before reaching their second birthday.
