Methods and Consultation Process
Fatima Marinho MD, MPH, PhD
Coordinator, Health Analysis and Information Project,
PAHO/HSD/HA
Regional Advisory Committee on Health Statistics Meeting
Havana, Cuba, 26-28 March 2012
2. Introduction
• UN Maternal Mortality Estimates Interagency
Group (MMEIG)
• Joint effort of WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA and the
World Bank,
• Technical Advisory Group
• 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2008 maternal
mortality estimates
• Upcoming: 2010 Estimates
3. 2010 estimates
• PAHO did not take part in estimation process
• WHO conducted country consultation:
3-4 weeks to review/respond
• Most countries reviewed estimates
• PAHO collaborated in consultation process
• Critics of consultation procedures received
PAHO
4. Methodology
• Available nationally-representative mortality
data
• Countries divided into 3 categories based on
available data:
- civil registration data
- other types of data
- no national data
• Uncertainty of estimates
5. Civil Registration (CR) Data
• Data adjusted for incompleteness and
misclassification
• In lieu of country-specific information, an
adjustment factor of 1.5 was applied
• Data on maternal deaths and live births were
pooled for 5-year periods (1990, 1995, 2000,
2005, 2008)
6. Without Complete CR
• Multilevel regression based on national level
data surveys, census, other sources
• PMDF (proportion maternal among deaths of
females of reproductive age): GDP, GFR, skilled
attendant at birth (%)
• Adjusting maternal deaths for misclassification
(different correction factors applied)
• Multilevel (or hierarchical) model
7. Indirect Aids maternal deaths
• Direct maternal deaths are counted with the
direct maternal deaths
• Separate treatment of indirect death as
aggravated by interaction between HIV and
pregnancy
8. Methodology Critics
• Includes late maternal deaths
• Constant correction factor over time
• Use of UN estimates with under- or
overestimation of live births
• Omission of discussion of international and
national comparable concepts
• Most recent data not included
• Missing transparency of methods, sources
used (improved for 2010 estimates)
9. Data Review
• Preliminary WHO Results
• PAHO Basic Indicators: annual data request to
countries (reported), December 2011 Update
• IHME: Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation,
Maternal Mortality Estimates and MDG 5 Attainment
by Country 1990-2011; Sept 2011. (estimates)

23. Discussion
• What should PAHO’s rol be in the estimation,
consultation and dissemination of WHO (or
other) estimates
• How to better support countries’ responses to
international agency estimates?
