Challenges in measuring maternal mortality.

TL;DR: In an environment that demands results-based approaches to development assistance and which uses the Millennium Development Goals to motivate donor assistance and global action it is hard to argue against Hill and colleagues efforts in their calculations of global and country estimates for maternal mortality.

Estimating pregnancy-related mortality from census data: experience in Latin America

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used established demographic techniques, including the general growth balance method, to evaluate the completeness and coverage of the household death data obtained through population censuses and compared parity to cumulative fertility data.

Country estimates of maternal mortality: an alternative model.

TL;DR: Alternative country estimates for 1995 are derived based on a multivariate model of the MMR, shown to lead to smaller root mean square relative errors of theMMR estimates, and to be considered preferable as an independent variable.
