Maternal, Newborn and Infant Clinical Outcome Review Programme: Saving Lives, Improving Mothers’ Care Report 2022

Reports | Published: 10 Nov 2022

The Maternal, Newborn and Infant Clinical Outcome Review Programme has published their ninth MBRRACE-UK annual report of the Confidential Enquiry into Maternal Deaths and Morbidity, which includes surveillance data on 536 women who died during or up to one year after pregnancy between 2018 and 2020 in the UK.

It also includes Confidential Enquiries into the care of women who died between 2018 and 2020 in the UK and Ireland from cardiovascular causes, hypertensive disorders, early pregnancy disorders and accidents and the care of women who died from mental-health related causes in 2020.

The report also includes a Morbidity Confidential Enquiry into the care of 61 women with diabetic ketoacidosis in pregnancy.

This report can be read as a single document; each chapter is also designed to be read as a standalone report as, although the whole report is relevant to maternity staff, service providers and policy-makers, there are specific clinicians and service providers for whom only single chapters are pertinent. There are seven different chapters which may be read independently, the topics covered are:

  1.  Surveillance of maternal deaths
  2. Mental health and multiple adversity
  3. Diabetic ketoacidosis (morbidity enquiry)
  4. Cardiovascular disease
  5. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy
  6. Early pregnancy disorders
  7. Critical care.
