MMRC Activities
The Utah-Wyoming Joint MMRC reviews de-identified case case summaries of deaths occurring during pregnancy or within the year of pregnancy, and all information about an identified case is gathered from death and birth certificates, medical records, autopsy reports, and other pertinent sources of information.
The goal of the MMRC reviews are to identify trends and risk factors for pregnancy related-death in Utah and Wyoming, identify preventable risk factors, and develop recommendations or strategies for prevention or intervention.
