The maternal mortality ratio (MMR) in the US has fluctuated from 16.0 in 2013 to 21.0 in 2023, representing a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 2.02% over five years. Year-on-year variations show fluctuations, such as a notable 12.5% rise in 2015 and a steady value in the most recent years of 2022 and 2023. From 2024 onwards, the MMR is forecasted to increase gradually, reaching 23.0 by 2028. The projected CAGR over the next five years is 1.84%, suggesting a slower growth rate.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of healthcare policies, access to quality maternal care, socio-economic factors, and public health initiatives aimed at reducing maternal mortality. Additionally, monitoring the disparities in MMR among different demographics will be crucial for targeted interventions.
