  • Trauma, pulmonary embolism, and cardiac disease accounted for 46.8% of deaths.

    • Conclusions:

    • Trauma, pulmonary embolism, and cardiac disease are emerging leading causes of maternal death.
    • Preventable direct obstetric causes were more numerous than indirect or nonobstetric causes.
    • Enhanced prevention, diagnosis, and treatment are vital to reduce maternal mortality ratios.
