Implication

Cohort study reveals persistent ethnic disparities in maternal mortality among pregnant women, indicating that clinical risk factors do not explain higher Black maternal death rates.

Key Points

Ethnic disparities in maternal mortality persist across the United Kingdom after adjusting for maternal risk factors and socioeconomic status.
Black women face an adjusted odds ratio of 3.13 for maternal mortality, while Caribbean women show an adjusted odds ratio of 3.55 versus White peers.
Cohort study of 801 maternal deaths highlights that clinical comorbidities and social deprivation do not fully explain these ethnic disparities.
