Why was a “Safety Bundle” on Maternal Mental Health created?

• Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders are the most common pregnancy complication

• Self-harm is a leading cause of Maternal Mortality

• Opioid use disorders are becoming more common among women of childbearing age

• All of the above

Why Do We Need a Patient Safety Bundle for Maternal Mental Health?

Untreated maternal depression can have a devastating effect on women, their infants and their families.

In extreme form, depressive psychosis can lead to maternal suicide and/or infanticide.

Maternal suicide within a year of birth is emerging as a significant cause of maternal mortality, and is probably underreported.

Original Research

Maternal DeathsFrom Suicide and Overdosein Colorado, 2004–2012

OBJECTIVE: To ascertain demographic and clinical char-

acterist ics of maternal deaths from self-harm (accidental

overdose or suicide) to identify opportunit ies for pre-

vention.

METHODS: We report a case series of pregnancy-

associated deaths resulting from self-harm in the state of

Colorado between 2004 and 2012. Self-harm deaths were

identified from several sources, including death certifi-

cates. Birth and death certificates along with coroner,

prenatal care, and delivery hospitalization records were

abstracted. Descriptive analyses were performed. For

context, we describe demographic characteristics of

women with a maternal death from self-harm and all

women with live births in Colorado.

RESULTS: Among the 211 total maternal deaths in

Colorado over the study interval, 30% (n5 63) resulted

from self-harm. The pregnancy-associated death ratio

from overdose was 5.0 (95% confidence interval [CI]

3.4–7.2) per 100,000 live births and from suicide 4.6

(95% CI 3.0–6.6) per 100,000 live births. Detailed re-

cords were obtained for 94% (n5 59) of women with

deaths from self-harm. Deaths were equally distributed

throughout the first postpartum year (mean 6.216 3.3

months postpartum) with only six maternal deaths dur-

ing pregnancy. Seventeen percent (n5 10) had a known

substance use disorder. Prior psychiatric diagnoses were

documented in 54% (n5 32) and prior suicide attempts

in 10% (n5 6). Although half (n5 27) of the women with

deaths from self-harm were noted to be taking psycho-

pharmacotherapy at conception, 48% of them discon-

tinued the medications during pregnancy. Fifty women

had toxicology testing available; pharmaceutical opioids

were the most common drug identified (n5 21).

CONCLUSION: Self-harm was the most common cause

of pregnancy-associated mortality, with most deaths

occurring in the postpartum period. A four-pronged

educational and program building effort to include

women, health care providers, health care systems,

and both governments and organizations at the com-

munity and national levels may allow for a reduction in

maternal deaths.
