The number of maternal deaths in the United States is forecasted to rise from 804 in 2024 to 846 in 2028. Comparing to the baseline number in 2023, we see a slight but consistent increase each year. Specifically, the figures show a year-on-year increase of approximately 1.37% from 2024 to 2028. Examining the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year span, the average yearly increase is around 1.27%.
Future trends to watch for include examining factors such as healthcare policy changes, access to prenatal care, and socioeconomic determinants that could impact these projected increases. Continuous monitoring of healthcare innovations and maternal health initiatives will also be vital in understanding and potentially mitigating these trends.
