INFANT AND MATERNAL MORTALITY <strong>2003</strong> LOUISIANA VITAL STATISTICS REPORT<br />

MATERNAL MORTALITY COUNTS AND RATES<br />

In <strong>2003</strong>, there were thirteen maternal deaths in <strong>Louisiana</strong>. <strong>Louisiana</strong>’s maternal mortality rate for <strong>2003</strong> was 18.6 deaths per<br />

100,000 live births. The maternal mortality rate for the 1993-<strong>2003</strong> period was 10 deaths per 100,000 live births.<br />

Racial differences are evident as black mothers are far more likely to die <strong>of</strong> pregnancy related causes than white mothers are.<br />

Care must be taken when comparing maternal mortality rates over time, because substantial fluctuation in these rates exists due<br />

to the small number <strong>of</strong> deaths each year.<br />

For causes <strong>of</strong> maternal death, please refer to Table 5.11 in the death chapter <strong>of</strong> this report.<br />
