The KY Maternal Mortality Review Program first convened in 2018. The committee has 28 members currently, meets quarterly, at a minimum, and reviews all pregnancy-associated deaths (all deaths of women while pregnant or within one year of the end of pregnancy, due to any cause). In 2022, our State had 52,311 of live births and 11 of pregnancy-related deaths in 2020. The mission is to identify and review all pregnancy-associated deaths in KY in order to develop recommendations to reduce maternal mortality.
