Beyond the standard of care. Maternal mortality in Croatia.

The WHO defines maternal death as the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and site of the pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management but not from accidental or incidental causes. This definition allows identification of maternal deaths based on their causes as either direct or indirect. The direct obstetric deaths are those resulting from obstetric complications of the pregnant state (pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum), from interventions, omissions, incorrect treatment, or from a chain of events resulting from any of the above. The indirect obstetric deaths are those resulting from previous existing disease, or diseases that develop during pregnancy, and which were not due to direct obstetric causes but aggravated by physiological effects of pregnancy. The maternal mortality rate in Croatia has been calculated including direct and indirect causes of woman death in pregnancy, delivery or puerperium on 100, 000 LB.
