Abstract
BACKGROUND Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is one of the leading causes of death in women in early pregnancy, and the mortality of EP have gradually decreased over time in developed countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States. However, epidemiological information on EP has been lacking in recent years, so we analyzed EP data over a thirty-year period from 1990-2019 with the help of Global Burden of Disease study (GBD) data to fill this gap. METHODS According to the EP data in GBD for the three decades from 1990 to 2019, we used estimated annual percentage changes (EAPC) to assess the trend of age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), age-standardized death rate (ASDR) and age-standardized disability adjusted life years (AS-DALYs) trends in EP and to explore the correlation between socio-demographic index (SDI) stratification, age stratification and EP. RESULTS Global ASIR, ASDR, AS-DALYs for EP in 2019 are 170.33/100,000 persons (95% UI: 133.18 to 218.49), 0.16/100,000 persons (95% UI, 0.14 to 0.19) and 9.69/100,000 persons (95% UI, 8.27 to 11.31), respectively. At the overall level, ASDR is significantly negatively correlated with SDI values (R = -0.699, p < 0.001). Besides that, ASDR and AS-DALYs have basically the same pattern. In addition, iron deficiency is one of the risk factors for EP. CONCLUSIONS In the past three decades, the morbidity, mortality and disease burden of EP have gradually decreased. It is noteworthy that some economically disadvantaged areas are still experiencing an increase in all indicators, therefore, it is more important to strengthen the protection of women from ethnic minorities and low-income groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Few studies have analysed accidental maternal deaths. This study analysed the basic situation and classification of maternal accidental deaths and compared the differences between urban and rural areas. DESIGN A cross-sectional study on accidental deaths during pregnancy and puerperium from 2009 to 2019 in Hunan Province. SETTING Hunan Province, with a population of 74 million, has an area of 210 000 km2 and 123 counties/districts. PARTICIPANTS A collection of 239 cases of accidental death during pregnancy and puerperium in Hunan Province from 2009 to 2019, including 181 cases of rural pregnancy and puerperium and 58 cases of urban pregnancy and puerperium. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Classification of accidental mortality of pregnant women. RESULTS A total of 239 accidental deaths occurred in Hunan Province, with an accidental mortality rate of 2.8 per 100 000 live births. The accidental mortality rate in rural areas (3.2 per 100 000 live births) was higher than in urban areas (2.0 per 100 000 live births). The proportion of accidental deaths among pregnancy-related deaths showed an upward trend. The main types of accidental deaths were suicide (1.0 per 100 000 live births), traffic accidents (0.8 per 100 000 live births), accidental poisoning/overdose and assault/homicide (0.2 per 100 000 live births), and other accidents (0.6 per 100 000 live births). Maternal accidental deaths were mainly concentrated in low-income families, in rural areas and in those with low level of education. 74.5% of accidental deaths occurred before childbirth. 49.2% of pregnant women gave birth by caesarean section. CONCLUSION In response to the different causes of accidental maternal death, public health programmes and policy interventions should pay special attention to maternal suicide and traffic injuries.

Abstract
Objective: We reviewed malignancy related maternal deaths in Japan to ascertain if there were avoidable factors.Methods: Malignancy-related maternal death in Japan reported to the Maternal Death Exploratory Committee, from 2010 to 2016 inclusive.Results: There were 12 cases of maternal death caused by malignancy. There were four gastric cancers (two poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, one signet ring cell carcinoma with adenocarcinoma, one histology not available), 3 leukemia (two acute myeloid leukemia, one aggressive NK cell leukemia), two ureteral cancers (histology not available), one malignant lymphoma (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with translocation), one brain tumor (gliomatosis cerebri), and one cervical cancer (glassy cell carcinoma). Two gastric cancer patients had chronic gastric pain before conception. In two cases the physicians commented that they had avoided computed tomography and the brain biopsy needed for diagnosis because the patient was pregnant. At diagnosis, the clinical stages were II-IV in 9, and the performance status was 3-5 in 8. Indication for delivery was exacerbated maternal condition in 5, for treatment in 3, spontaneous labor in 3, and one patient declined elective delivery. Median [interquartile rage] (range) gestational weeks of delivery was 29 [24-30] (19-40). One cervical cancer patient had a radical hysterectomy and chemotherapy for 10 months. However, three leukemia and one gastric cancer patients had chemotherapy within 10 d because they deteriorated rapidly. Another seven cases did not have any treatment because of poor general condition or because they remained undiagnosed. In all cases, the Committee considered that there was no evidence of substandard care.Conclusion: In these cases, both the clinical stages and biological degree of malignancy were high. In two-thirds of cases, early termination of the pregnancy was indicated because of deteriorating maternal condition. Chemotherapy was not effective because of short available time for therapy and the advanced stage of the cancers when diagnosed. Encouraging women to have a thorough medical assessment before conception, and early diagnosis and treatment before pregnancy, appears to be the only practical way to reduce deaths from malignancy while a woman is pregnant.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate mortality in the non-pregnant fertile female population, and mortality during pregnancy and up to 1 year after the end of pregnancy, in Finland from 2001 to 2012 and compare the results with those of 1987-2000. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Finland. POPULATION 10 427 deceased women of reproductive age (15-49). METHODS Pregnancy outcomes were categorised into: ongoing pregnancy or birth, miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy and termination of pregnancy. Mortality was calculated per 100 000 pregnancies. The mortality rate of the non-pregnant female population of fertile age was calculated per 100 000 person-years, and the results were compared with those of 1987-2000. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Pregnancy-associated mortality during pregnancy and up to 1 year after the end of pregnancy. Mortality of non-pregnant, fertile-age, female population. RESULTS The age-adjusted mortality rate during pregnancy and within 1 year after the end of pregnancy was 28.4/100 000 pregnancies, and it had significantly decreased compared with the period 1987-2000 [risk ratio (RR) 0.75 (95% CI, 0.65-0.88)]. Mortality in non-pregnant fertile-age females was 48.1/100 000 person-years. Mortality for diseases and medical conditions during and after pregnancy decreased by 26% [RR 0.74 (95% CI, 0.59-0.92)] and for external causes by 23% [RR 0.77 (95% CI, 0.62-0.95)]. The mortality rate for suicides was 3.3/100 000 in ongoing pregnancies and pregnancies ending in birth while it was 21.8/100 000 after termination of pregnancy and 10.2/100 000 among non-pregnant women. CONCLUSIONS In comparison with earlier decades, pregnancy-associated mortality has decreased in Finland. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT Mortality decreases among pregnant women and within 1 year after pregnancy in Finland.
