| Abstract: | Background Most maternal deaths in developing countries can be prevented. China is among the 13 countries with the most maternal deaths;
however, there has been a marked decrease in the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) over the last 3 decades. China's reduction
in the MMR has contributed significantly to the global decline of the MMR. This study examined the geographic and rural-urban
differences, time trends and related factors in preventable maternal deaths in China during 1996-2005, with the aim of providing
reliable evidence for effective interventions. |
