[The structure and incidence of the basic causes of maternal mortality]

The author treats by the presented scientific publication the structure and frequency of causes for maternal mortality in particular countries and mainly in Bulgaria. Several structure types of maternal mortality are examined--"extragenital", "hemorrhagic", "septic". It has been proven through a close examination of the work of women's consultation cabinets with regard to maternal mortality that a considerable dependence and regularity is determined due to the insufficient coverage of women from housing complexes (only 24.9% have 6-14 visits). For 1995 dead pregnant women, women in delivery and young mothers in particular regions are 0.1 for 1000 from 73,032 checked-up women. Only in Sofia and Montana region the mortality rate is 0.2 for 1000. For 1996 the mortality rate in the presented regions (see Table N1) for pregnant women, women in delivery and young mothers has increases to 7 (0.2 for 1000).
