Which of the following regarding Maternal Moality Rate (MMR) is not TRUE?
Correct Answer: Denominator includes still bihs and aboions
Description: The denominator in Maternal Moality Rate includes the total number of live bihs in a paicular area during a paicular year and not the number of stillbihs and aboions. The denominator is inclusive of the total number of still bihs while calculating the Stillbih Rate and Perinatal Moality Rate. The numerator of the rate includes the total number of female deaths due to complications of pregnancy, childbih or within 42 days of delivery from puerperal causes in a paicular area during a given year. Maternal Moality Rate is expressed as a rate and not as a ratio. It is expressed as a rate per 1000 live bihs. Ref: Park's Textbook of Preventive and Social Medicine, 19th Edition.
