2022, CJC OpenCitation Excerpt :These normal physiologic changes of pregnancy can uncover or intensify prepregnancy cardiac conditions (eg, congenital and valvular heart disease, preexisting cardiomyopathies, including cancer treatment-related cardiotoxicity) or result in new cardiac conditions (eg, arrhythmias, peripartum cardiomyopathy, aortic dissection, and pregnancy-associated MI, including spontaneous coronary artery dissection). In Canada, cardiac diseases affect 4.7 per 100,000 deliveries and is the most common diagnosis associated with maternal mortality during pregnancy and in the postpartum period.24 These adverse outcomes are even higher among women aged older than 40 years, with obesity, and of certain ethnic populations in Canada.

2021, Canadian Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Various data sources provide different information, and understanding the sources of data is important. Maternal mortality may be identified with the use of vital registration12 or hospital data, both of which have strengths and limitations.6,13 Confidential enquires and maternal mortality review committees review cases in more detail and often provide recommendations for improvements in pregnancy care.
Database Autopsy: An Efficient and Effective Confidential Enquiry into Maternal Deaths in Canada
2021, Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology CanadaCitation Excerpt :For the last several years, surveillance of maternal deaths in Canada has relied on hospitalization data from the Discharge Abstract Database of the Canadian Institute for Health Information. This is because such hospital data provide more accurate estimates of maternal mortality rates than information from Statistics Canada's death registration database.1,7,8 However, one significant limitation of maternal mortality surveillance based on hospitalization data is the lack of information on the underlying cause of death, defined as “the disease or condition that initiated the morbid chain of events leading to death or the circumstances of the accident or violence that produced a fatal injury.”9
