In 2018, Contemporary OB/GYN launched a year-long series focused on lowering the US maternal mortality rate. We covered information on the major causes of maternal death, including cardiac disease, hemorrhage, hypertension, sepsis, VTE, amniotic fluid embolism, complications of anesthesia, accidents, substance abuse, suicide and other less common origins of maternal death. In this digital issue, we have compiled the entirety of our yearlong coverage for your convenience.
