Available indicator

Maternal mortality ratio
Target

3.1 By 2030, reduce the global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100,000 live births
Goal

3- Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
Definition

Deaths of women attributed to pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium per 100.000 births
Theoretical formula \[TM_{maternal}^{t} = \frac{D_{maternal}^{t}}{N^{t}} \cdot 100.000\]

where:

$D_{maternal}^{t} =$ deaths of women attributed to pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (codes O00-O99 of the ICD-10) in year $t$

$N^{t} =$ births in year $t$

This section provides more information about the United Nations indicator or the European Union Sustainable Development Indicator, such as its rationale, international results, metadata, and other relevant statistics.

Rationale

The maternal mortality ratio (MMR) is defined as the number of maternal deaths during a given time period per 100,000 live births during the same time period. It depicts the risk of maternal death relative to the number of live births and essentially captures the risk of death in a single pregnancy (proxied by a single live birth).
Comparability between the available indicator and the UN indicator

The available indicator complies with United Nations metadata.
