That’s interesting, do you happen to have a source? I’m coming up empty.
The article specifies that “researchers found that in 2022, 22.3 US women per 100,000 died either during pregnancy or within a year of giving birth” so I’m not really sure what the first response is on about “counts mortality differently” 🙄
What they’re on about is exactly the part you quoted - the US counts deaths that occur an entire year after birth, while the UK only counts 42 days. https://www.npeu.ox.ac.uk/mbrrace-uk/data-brief/maternal-mortality-2020-2022
Postpartum generally lasts at least 8wks so it seems someone isn’t account for science
