Objectives Assessment of all maternal deaths and the proportion of maternal deaths related to International Disease Code (CID-10) O.10–O.16) reported by DATASUS (Brazilian Health Ministry) from 2003 to 2012. Methods Data were from http://www2.datasus.gov.br . (Accessed June 14, 2014): total live births, total MM, total MM due to hypertensive disorders. The MMR was calculated n[o] MM/n[o] live births per 100.000 and percentage of hypertensive disorders over total MM. Results Graphic 1 shows the MM rates and the proportion of hypertension in pregnancy (HP) in the total deaths. Disparities are detected among regions: North and Norwest have higher MMR (×25.0) and South the better MMR among all (×16,1). Conclusions MM in Brazil remains at worrying levels and with a trend of stagnation. The same can be supposed for the proportion of deaths related to hypertensive disorders. These problems are directly related to the quality of prenatal care and all health system. These indicators should guide public politics and expose the urgent needs for a task force to improve not only the quality of maternal care but also start a permanent auditing committee in order to provide an effective agenda until effective decline of these numbers.
