Fluctuation in MMR over the 15 reporting years of the maternal death enquiry in Ireland did not achieve statistical significance.

Suicide remains the leading direct cause of maternal death and late maternal deaths in Ireland in 2021-2023 with a statistically significant increase in the last 5 years compared with the previous decade.

Death by suicide, cardiac disease and haemorrhage were the leading cause of maternal death during pregnancy and up to 42 days following the pregnancy end for the triennium 2021-2023.

MDE Ireland releases data brief No 8: Maternal Mortality in Ireland 2021-2023. Maternal mortality rate (MMR) 2021-2023 was 9.0 per 100,000 maternities. https://t.co/upqJJqgPxl
