Andreea A. Creanga,Cynthia J. Berg,Carla Syverson,Kristi Seed,F. Carol Bruce,William M. Callaghan +5 more
TL;DR: Pregnancy-related mortality ratios increased with maternal age for all women and within all age groups, non-Hispanic black women had the highest risk of dying from pregnancy complications, and the increasing contribution of chronic diseases to pregnancy- related mortality suggests a change in risk profile of the birthing population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Susan Y. Chu,Donald J. Bachman,William M. Callaghan,Evelyn P Whitlock,Patricia M. Dietz,Cynthia J. Berg,Maureen O’Keeffe-Rosetti,F. Carol Bruce,Mark C. Hornbrook +8 more

Mark C. Hornbrook,Evelyn P Whitlock,Cynthia J. Berg,William M. Callaghan,Donald J. Bachman,Rachel Gold,F. Carol Bruce,Patricia M. Dietz,Selvi B. Williams +8 more
TL;DR: This pregnancy episode grouper algorithm takes advantage of databases readily available in IHDS, and has important applications for health system management and clinical care and can be used in other settings for ongoing surveillance and research on pregnancy outcomes, pregnancy-related morbidities, costs, and care patterns.
