Solventum™ Severe Maternal Morbidity (SMM) Classification System
According to the Commonwealth Fund, the U.S. has the highest maternal mortality rateopens in a new tab of high income nations, and the majority of these deaths likely could have been prevented. Many more women experience serious complications during pregnancy, delivery or postpartum.
Complications mean a poor experience for the mother, a possible adverse impact on the infant and future risk to both. Births with complications are also more expensive than deliveries without complications, even before factoring in any potential mid-or long-term issues. Understanding severe maternal morbidity (SMM) is foundational for maternal quality improvement programs.
