Abstract
(Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand. 2018;97:976–987) In Norway, hypertensive disorders were the leading cause of maternal death from 1976 to 2011. Recent reductions reported in the maternal mortality ratio for hypertensive disorders in the United Kingdom indicate there is substantial potential for reducing maternal deaths in other countries from this cause, including Norway. The goal of this study was to evaluate maternal deaths from hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in Norway. The investigators hoped to identify aspects of care, such as antihypertensive therapy, anticonvulsant prophylaxis, and timing of delivery, where improvements might have resulted in better outcomes.
