A Maternal, Fetal, and Infant Mortality Review panel was established by Maine Statute in 2005, and significantly amended in 2017 to allow for reviews of maternal deaths up to one year postpartum. The committee has 30 members, meets quarterly, and began reviews of pregnancy-associated deaths in 2019. Maine had 11534 live births in 2020 and 6 maternal deaths in that year. The Panel’s purpose is to gain an understanding of the factors associated with maternal deaths in order to expand the state’s capacity to direct public health and prevention efforts to promote the health of pregnant people and their infants.
