To describe a method for identification, classification and assessment of maternal deaths in Denmark and to identify substandard care. <jats:italic>Design<\/jats:italic>. Register study and case audit based on data from the Registers of the Danish Medical Health Board, death certificates and hospital records. <jats:italic>Setting<\/jats:italic>. Denmark 2002\u20132006. <jats:italic>Population<\/jats:italic>. Women who died during a pregnancy or within 42 days after a pregnancy. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. Maternal deaths were identified by notification from maternity wards and data from the Danish National Board of Health. A national audit committee assessed hospital records of direct and indirect deaths. <jats:italic>Main outcome measures<\/jats:italic>. Maternal mortality ratio, causes of death and suboptimal care. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. In the study period, 26 women died during pregnancy or within 42 days from direct or indirect causes, leading to a maternal mortality ratio of 8.0\/100,000 live births. Causes of death were cardiac disease, thromboembolism, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, Streptococcus A infections, suicide, amniotic fluid embolism, cerebrovascular hemorrhage, asthma and diabetes. <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Our method proved valid and can be used for future research. Causes of death could be identified and learning points from the assessments could form the basis of focused education and guidelines. Future complementary \u2018near miss\u2019 studies and cooperation with other countries with comparable health systems are expected to improve the benefits of the enquiries, contributing to improved management of life\u2010threatening conditions in pregnancy and childbirth.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1080\/00016340902897992","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,4,7]],"date-time":"2009-04-07T11:32:52Z","timestamp":1239103972000},"page":"556-562","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["Maternal deaths in Denmark 2002\u20132006"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"88","author":[{"given":"BIRGIT","family":"B\u00d8DKER","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"LONE","family":"HVIDMAN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"TOM","family":"WEBER","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"MARGRETHE","family":"M\u00d8LLER","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"ANNETTE","family":"AARRE","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"KAREN MARIE","family":"NIELSEN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"JETTE LED","family":"S\u00d8RENSEN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","volume-title":"The Confidential Enquiries into Maternal and Child Health (CEMACH)","author":"Lewis G","year":"2004"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0301-2115(98)00053-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ije\/28.1.64"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-3016.2005.00653.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1479-828X.2004.00313.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00016349709024605"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_2","first-page":"240","article-title":"Maternal mortality in Sweden, 1980\u20138","volume":"84","author":"H\u00f6gberg U","year":"1994","journal-title":"Obstet Gynecol."},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00016347709154985"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00016348409154645"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"856","DOI":"10.1080\/00016340802237067","article-title":"Direct maternal deaths in Norway 1976\u20131995","volume":"8","author":"Andersgaard AB","year":"2008","journal-title":"Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand."},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_2","volume-title":"International statistical classification of diseases and related health problems, tenth revision","author":"World Health Organization","year":"1992"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_2","first-page":"2005","article-title":"Maternal mortality in Denmark during the years 1970\u20131979","volume":"144","author":"Jessen P","year":"1982","journal-title":"Ugeskr Laeger."},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejogrb.2008.10.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0301-2115(97)00155-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_16_2","volume-title":"The seventh report on confidential enquiries into maternal deaths in the United Kingdom","author":"Lewis G","year":"2007"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.313.7070.1431"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ajp.160.4.765"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_19_2","unstructured":"The Danish Birth Register.
