Nevada's MMRC first convened in 2020. The committee has 12 members, meets as needed but at least twice a year, and reviews all pregnancy associated deaths regardless of cause of death. In 2018, the State had 35,379 live births and in 2017 had 12 pregnancy-related deaths (PMSS). Our mission is to to identify pregnancy-associated deaths, review those caused by pregnancy complications and other associated causes, and identify the factors contributing to these deaths and recommend public health and clinical interventions that may reduce pregnancy associated and pregnancy related deaths and severe maternal morbidity and improve systems of care.
