Key result
Severe obstetric complications such as bleeding (OR 28.8; 95% CI 20.3-40.7) and hypertension (OR 17; 95% CI 9.6-28.8), along with COVID-19 and cardiovascular diseases, drive maternal mortality.

May warrant enhanced CVD monitoring in pregnant women during crises; extends evidence on cardiomyopathy's outsized role in maternal mortality disparities.
Е. И. Барановская (2022) conducted a systematic review in Maternal mortality (n=137). Maternal risk factors and complications was evaluated on Maternal mortality causes and rates. Severe obstetric complications such as bleeding (OR 28.8; 95% CI 20.3-40.7) and hypertension (OR 17; 95% CI 9.6-28.8), along with COVID-19 and cardiovascular diseases, drive maternal mortality.
