Abstract

Maternal death is an important index to assess the quality of women’s access to health services. Therefore, understanding the epidemiological profile and related care factors is crucial. This is a retrospective and quantitative epidemiological study, based on the data collected in the DATASUS platform, through SIM, from 2009 to 2019, tabulating data in Excel in the form of tables. Deaths were prevalent in 2009 (10%), in Bahia (25%), in the brown race (66.37%), between 20 and 29 years (40.39%), in single women (48%), in the puerperium (48.52%), in the hospital environment (89.31%), because of direct obstetric causes (69.1%) and 23% by the ICD category O99. The results of this study are expected to contribute to better targeting of public policies to reduce maternal deaths.
