Methods: Retrospective population analysis of maternal mortality from 2007 to 2024 focused on coincidental maternal deaths. Analysis of coincidental maternal death cases was carried out according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) for Maternal Mortality (ICD-MM). Results: Between 2007 and 2024, a total of 123 women died. The maternal mortality ratio (MMR) was 12.46 per 100,000 live births. Fifteen women (12.20%) died from coincidental causes (MMR 1.52 per 100,000 live births). From direct causes, 51 women died (41.46%), from indirect causes, 54 women died (43.90%), and three women died (2.44%) from an unknown cause of death. Out of the coincidental deaths, 80.0% were due to polytrauma \u2013 car accidents (66.67%), train accident (6.67%), and entrapment in an elevator shaft (6.67%). Three cases of deaths were due to homicide (domestic violence) \u2013 20%. Conclusion: The study highlights the problem of under-recognition of coincidental maternal deaths, despite its significant impact on public health. The Slovak Gynecological and Obstetrics Society attempts to identify and collect data on coincidental maternal mortality in Slovakia, which is not included in vital statistics. Addressing this overlooked issue is crucial for enhancing maternal health outcomes and ensuring comprehensive maternal safety worldwide. \n\n \n\nKey words: maternal deaths \u2013 coincidental maternal mortality \u2013 maternal mortality ratio \u2013 polytrauma \u2013 homicide<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.48095\/cccg2025278","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,10]],"date-time":"2025-09-10T08:47:28Z","timestamp":1757494048000},"page":"278-284","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Coincidental maternal mortality in Slovakia in the years 2007\u20132024"],"prefix":"10.48095","volume":"90","author":[{"name":"Coincidental maternal mortality in Slovakia in the years 2007\u20132024","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dominika","family":"Kotr\u00edkov\u00e1","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M\u00e1ria","family":"Vargov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adam","family":"Adamec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexandra","family":"Kri\u0161t\u00fafkov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miroslav","family":"Korbe\u013e","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"28151","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,29]]},"container-title":["\u010cesk\u00e1 gynekologie"],"original-title":["Coincidental maternal mortality in Slovakia in the years 2007\u20132024"],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,10]],"date-time":"2025-09-10T08:47:29Z","timestamp":1757494049000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cs-gynekologie.cz\/en\/journals\/czech-gynaecology\/2025-4-4\/coincidental-maternal-mortality-in-slovakia-in-the-years-2007-2024-141471"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,29]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,29]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,29]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.48095\/cccg2025278","relation":{},"ISSN":["1210-7832","1805-4455"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1210-7832","type":"print"},{"value":"1805-4455","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,29]]}}}
