Maternal Mortality On Rise In US, Reports CDC

maternal mortality on rise in the US

After two years of decline in <span>maternal mortality</span>, especially in the number of women dying during or shortly after childbirth in the US, the numbers are again on the rise. As per the newly released data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (<span>CDC</span>), the 2024 figures have renewed concerns about maternal health in the country. US has already been at one of the highest maternal mortality rates among the high-income countries. 

The CDC's provisional report stated that 688 women died last year due to pregnancy-related complications. This is a slight increase from the 669 deaths reported in 2023. The maternal mortality rate also rose and reached to 19 deaths per 100,000 live births. This is up from 18.6, the rate recorded a year earlier. 

While the numbers do remain below the peak figures which was noted in the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 and 2022, the reversal of a two-year downward trend has raised alarms. 

<h4>What Are <span rel="noindex">Maternal Deaths</span>?</h4>

As per CDC, maternal deaths occur during <span>pregnancy</span>, childbirth, or within 42 days after delivery. The major point here is that the deaths must occur due to pregnancy-related conditions. These include excessive bleeding, infections, and blood vessel blockages, which continue to be among the leading causes. 

The numbers of maternal deaths in the US surged during the COVID-19 pandemic. This proved to be dangerous for pregnancy women, since many healthcare systems and hospitals have become overwhelmed. It also led to gaps in care. During the worst phases of pandemic, some physicians also reported burnout. This could have also been the reason why pregnancy related concerns which required immediate attention could have been downplayed. 

As the pandemic receded in 2022 and 2023, the number of maternal deaths declined, in part because of improved COVID-19 prevention and treatment protocols. However, experts warn that the progress made during those years is now being undermined by new and persistent challenges. 

<h4>The Reason Behind These Numbers:</h4>

As per the public health experts, there are several factors that have lead to an increase in the number of maternal mortality:

<strong>Limited Access to Care: </strong>The closure of rural hospitals across the U.S. continues to make it harder for women in remote areas to access prenatal and emergency care.

Legal and Regulatory Changes: The 2022 Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade has had a ripple effect on maternal healthcare. Some doctors, concerned about legal consequences, are reportedly hesitant to provide certain treatments during pregnancy-related emergencies. In states with strict abortion laws, this has translated into delays in care — potentially putting mothers at greater risk.

<strong>Worsening Inequities: </strong>The U.S. has long-standing racial disparities in maternal health outcomes. Research has consistently shown that Black women die from pregnancy-related complications at much higher rates than white women, due to a combination of systemic racism, limited access to quality care, and implicit bias in medical settings.

The major concern is also that among the many wealthy countries, US has continued to stand out in a way that is not good for it. It has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the developed world.

Measles Outbreak Update: Kentucky Confirms Its First Case

measles outbreak update: kentucky confirms its first case

In a significant stride toward curbing the spread of vector-borne diseases, India is moving closer to having its first indigenous <span>dengue</span> vaccine. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), in collaboration with Panacea Biotec, is on track to complete the enrollment of participants for Phase 3 clinical trials by October 2025, according to CNBC-TV18.

This crucial phase of testing, launched on August 14, 2024, marks the most advanced stage yet for the vaccine’s development. The multi-center, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study is designed to assess the vaccine’s efficacy, safety, and long-term immunogenicity. So far, over 70% of the targeted 10,335 participants have been enrolled across 20 medical centers nationwide, according to CNBC-TV18 sources.

<h4>Two-Year Follow-Up Required Before Regulatory Submission</h4>

Once participant enrollment is completed, each subject will be monitored for a two-year follow-up period. This extended observation window, considered critical for evaluating the vaccine's long-term safety and effectiveness, is expected to conclude by the end of 2027.

According to CNBC-TV18, sources familiar with the development confirmed, “The enrollment process is progressing smoothly, and no safety concerns have been reported so far.”

Only after the follow-up period ends and the data are thoroughly analyzed will the findings be submitted to the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) for regulatory review and potential market authorization. “If the vaccine demonstrates acceptable efficacy and a clean safety profile, it could then be considered for regulatory approval and subsequent launch,” CNBC-TV18 reported, quoting official sources.

<h4>National-Scale Trial Across Premier Institutions</h4>

The Phase 3 trial is being carried out at reputed medical institutions located in major cities including Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, New Delhi, and Kolkata. According to CNBC-TV18, the study protocol stipulates a comprehensive two-year post-vaccination follow-up. The final data from this period will be crucial in determining the vaccine’s fate in the Indian market.

<h4>A Single-Dose Vaccine: What Is It All About?</h4>

What sets this vaccine apart from global counterparts is its single-dose formulation. This is expected to ease the logistical and financial challenges of mass immunization in dengue-endemic areas. Unlike international vaccines like Sanofi’s Dengvaxia and Takeda’s QDENGA—which require multiple doses and have limitations in efficacy across different dengue virus serotypes—India’s homegrown candidate offers a potentially more accessible and broadly applicable alternative.

Earlier phases of clinical evaluation, including Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials conducted in India, had already received regulatory clearance from CDSCO. These trials showed that the vaccine was both safe and capable of eliciting a strong immune response.

“India’s first dengue vaccine candidate has shown encouraging results so far. Phase 1 and 2 trials confirmed that the vaccine is safe and induces a protective immune response. We’re hopeful that Phase 3 will bring us closer to a much-needed tool in dengue prevention,” CNBC-TV18 reported, citing official sources.

<h4>A Vital Step for a Country with High Dengue Burden</h4>

India continues to suffer from seasonal dengue outbreaks, with thousands of hospitalizations each year placing strain on public health infrastructure. The World Health Organization estimates about 390 million dengue infections occur globally each year, with India accounting for a significant portion. With no specific antiviral treatment available, prevention through vaccination and vector control remains the most effective strategy.

As per current projections, enrollment will wrap up by October 2025, followed by a two-year follow-up until the end of 2027. Only after this can ICMR and Panacea Biotec submit their formal application for market authorization, CNBC-TV18 noted.

If the vaccine passes regulatory scrutiny, it could revolutionize dengue control efforts not only in India but also in other low- and middle-income countries grappling with high disease burdens and limited access to effective vaccines.

With 23,000 Confirmed Cases, Oropouche Virus Raises Public Health Concern– All About The 'Neglected Tropical Disease'

oropouche virus raises public health concern with 23,000 confirmed cases – what you need to know about the disease

The latest state to join the <span>measles</span> outbreak, which has been ongoing for quite some time now in the United States, is Kentucky. It has declared the outbreak, and has been confirmed by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Wednesday. So far, there has been a total of 1,267 confirmed cases of measles this year, nationwide.

For now, five active measles cases have been detected in Kentucky, and four of these are linked to the same outbreak.

"When there are measles outbreaks in other states and nearby countries, it is not surprising to see spread to Kentucky," Steven Stack, M.D., secretary of the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services, said in a statement. "Measles can be very serious, but it is avoidable through vaccination. We urge all parents to have their children vaccinated to ensure they are protected from preventable diseases like measles."

<h4>How Many Outbreaks And How Many Cases?</h4>

The CDC defines an outbreak as at least three related cases, and so far in 2025, 27 such outbreaks have been reported. Of them, 88% of the confirmed cases, which means 1,115 cases out of 1,267, are linked with the ongoing outbreak. In 2024, a total of 285 measles cases were reported by 33 jurisdictions, resulting in 16 outbreaks.

Since the late winter of 2024 till spring of 2025, Texas witnessed the country's largest outbreak, and three additional cases were reported this week. The case count in Texas now totals 753 since late January.

Last week, the New Mexico Department of Health reported five measles cases at the Luna County Detention Center in Deming. Officials are currently determining the vaccination status of people being held at the facility.

"The cases at Luna County Detention Center are a stark reminder that the measles outbreak in New Mexico is not over," Chad Smelser, M.D., a medical epidemiologist with the New Mexico Department of Health, said in a statement. "We urge everyone in New Mexico, especially Luna County residents, to ensure that they are fully vaccinated against measles."

So far, from the measles cases in Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma, three deaths have been reported. Among them, two were elementary school-aged children from the West Texas epicenter, and one was an adult in New Mexico. All of them were unvaccinated.

<h4>What Vaccine Must One Take To Prevent Measles?</h4>

The CDC recommends two doses of the MMR vaccine as the "best way to protect against measles, mumps, and rubella". For children, it recommends two doses of MMRV.

The MMR vaccine is a combination of measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines, while the MMRV is a combination of measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (chickenpox) vaccines.

In the US, two MMR vaccines are available for use, including M-M-R II, and PRIORIX. For MMRV, the vaccine is only licensed for children who are 12 months through 12 years of age. The first dose is usually administered between the ages of 12 to 15 months, while the second dose is administered between the ages of 4 to 6.

For older children, adolescents and adults, the two doses of MMR vaccines should be separated by at least 28 days.

CDC notes that it is a highly contagious virus, which means if one person has it, up to 9 out of 10 people nearby will also become infected. As per the Mayo Clinic, measles is caused by the measles virus, which can spread through an infected person's cough, sneeze, or even during conversations.

Measles symptoms appear 7 to 14 days after contact with the virus. Common measles symptoms include:

<ul><li>High fever (may spike to more than 104° F)</li><li>Cough</li><li>Runny nose (coryza)</li><li>Red, watery eyes (conjunctivitis)</li><li>Rash</li></ul>

"The Brazzers team is deeply saddened to learn of Kylie Page’s passing,” the company said in a statement on X. “Kylie will be remembered for her laughter, kindness, and bringing light wherever she went. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Kylie’s family, friends, and fans during this difficult time.”

<h2>Fentanyl &amp; Paraphernalia overdose: How These Drugs Impact Your Body?</h2>Page's death has again reminded people of drug use and abuse in the entertainment industry cases like<a href="https://www.healthandme.com/health-news/matthew-perry-investigation-can-ketamine-kill-someone-article-151033259" data-type="tilCustomLink"> Matthew Perry</a>'s death and <a href="https://www.healthandme.com/health-wellness/liam-payne-investigation-how-pink-cocaine-affects-you-article-151067570" data-type="tilCustomLink">Liam Payne</a>'s death. 

In case of Page, fentanyl and drug paraphernalia was found in her home. 

As per the Edge Treatment Center that is licensed by the California State Department of Health Care Services, and US federal law, drug paraphernalia is any device, item, or component of any type which is mainly meant or crafted for the purpose of production, compounding, transforming, obscuring, generating, processing, prepping, injecting, inhaling, consuming, or otherwise including a banned drug into our bodies. 

<h2>Common Drugs Linked with Paraphernalia</h2>

<ul><li>Marijuana/cannabis</li><li>Cocaine</li><li>Heroin and other opioids</li><li>Methamphetamines</li><li>Ecstasy</li><li>Inhalants</li></ul>

<h2>What Is Fentanyl and Why Is It So Dangerous?</h2>

As per the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use as an analgesic (pain relief) and anesthetic. It is approximately 100 times more potent than morphine and 50 times more potent than heroin as an analgesic.

It is also known as Apace, China Girl, China Town, Dance Fever, and by other various names. It can be consumed through snorting, sniffing, smoking, or orally by pill or tablet. It could also be spiked onto blotter paper, patches or sold alone or in combination with heroin and other substances. 

<h2>How Fentanyl Affects the Body and Mind</h2>

As per the National Institute on Drug Abuse, US, Fentanyl and other illegally produced synthetic opioids have played a major role in the overdose crisis in the United States since 2013.

Since about 2017, overdose deaths often involve use of multiple drugs. In many cases, fentanyl is one of these drugs. When fentanyl is mixed with other drugs, either on purpose or unknowingly, the combination can have more serious health effects.

Like other opioid pain relievers, fentanyl can cause a range of effects including relaxation, euphoria, pain relief, sedation, confusion, drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, urinary retention, constricted pupils, and slowed breathing.

In cases of overdose, symptoms may include stupor, altered pupil size, cold and clammy skin, bluish discoloration (cyanosis), coma, and respiratory failure, which can be fatal. A combination of coma, pinpoint pupils, and respiratory depression is a strong indicator of opioid intoxication.

In many cases, fentanyl is one of these drugs. When fentanyl is mixed with other drugs, either on purpose or unknowingly, the combination can have more serious health effects.Like other opioid pain relievers, fentanyl can cause a range of effects including relaxation, euphoria, pain relief, sedation, confusion, drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, urinary retention, constricted pupils, and slowed breathing.In cases of overdose, symptoms may include stupor, altered pupil size, cold and clammy skin, bluish discoloration (cyanosis), coma, and respiratory failure, which can be fatal. A combination of coma, pinpoint pupils, and respiratory depression is a strong indicator of opioid intoxication.
