Description
Ayele and a large team track severe bleeding around childbirth across two hundred four countries and territories. Their 2026 BMJ Open analysis draws on Global Burden of Disease data from 2000 to 2021, with projections forward to 2050. Maternal haemorrhage remains one of the deadliest risks of pregnancy worldwide.
Global rates of cases, deaths, and lost healthy years all fell across the two decades studied. The burden stayed heavily concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa, where rates in the west ran hundreds of times higher than in Western Europe. High-income Asia Pacific and Australasia recorded the lowest figures of all. Forecasts show further improvement by 2050, but the authors urge targeted local action because national gaps remain wide.
