Maternal death rates in the U.S....have...not....gone...up....the "experts," got it wrong again....

The "experts," f****d up again..........these "experts," couldn't "expert" themselves out of a paper bag....

But a new study says the rise in maternal mortality was actually a case of bad data. Using another way to measure the researchers found maternal mortality has basically been flat in the US for the past two decades.

How does a mistake like this happen? It turns out to be the result of a check box that was added to death certificates 21 years ago.

In 2003, the National Vital Statistics System added a checkbox to death certificates to note whether the deceased person was pregnant or had recently been pregnant to address concerns that pregnancy-related deaths were being undercounted.
But the box was checked for many deaths that were unrelated to pregnancy or childbirth, researchers found. For example, hundreds of deaths of people 70 or older were mistakenly classified as having been pregnant. Deaths from cancer and other causes also were counted as maternal deaths if the box was checked. As a result, the maternal mortality rates showed a dramatic increase since 2003.
