pregnancy ending, irrespective of the duration and site of the pregnancy, from any
cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management but not from
accidental or incidental causes (World Health Organization).

Pregnancy-Associated Death (PAD) – A death of a woman from any cause, while
she is pregnant or within one year of termination of pregnancy, regardless of the
duration and site of pregnancy (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC]).

Pregnancy-Related Death (PRD) – A pregnancy-associated death directly
attributed to pregnancy and/or childbirth (CDC).

                          Florida PAMR

Initiated:
    • By the Florida Department of Health in 1996 to improve surveillance and
       analysis of pregnancy-related deaths in Florida.
        o Funded through Title V (MCH) Block Grant and the American
            College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) District XII
        o Florida statutory authority: 395.3025, 405.01, 766.101
Purpose:
    • To discover gaps in care, identify systemic service delivery issues and
       make recommendations to facilitate improvements in the overall systems
       of care.


                                     6
                 Florida PAMR Process

1. Identify all pregnancy-associated deaths.
   • Death certificate with a cause of death in the category of
      Pregnancy, Childbirth and Puerperium
   • Universal Prenatal Risk Screen
   • Linked infant birth certificate or fetal death certificate
   • Pregnancy check-box on death certificate

2. Perform thorough record abstraction (using a variety of
   record sources).

                                 7
       Florida PAMR Process, Continued

3. Perform a multidisciplinary committee review.
   • Determine the underlying cause of death and preventability.
   • Identify contributing factors.
   • Recommend improvements to care.

4. Translate findings and recommendations into quality
   improvement strategies.



                                8
       Florida PAMR Process, Continued

5. Disseminate Information.
   • Reports (annual and multi-year)
   • Briefs focused on specific causes of death
   • Urgent Maternal Mortality Messages (UMMM)
   • Presentations at national, state and local forums
   • Publications in peer reviewed journals




                                 9
Florida PAMR Data Findings
          Background and Significance
• In Florida, from 2008-2018:
   o An average of 40 women died per year due to complications
      of pregnancy = 1 woman dying every 9 days.



• 69% of the pregnancy related deaths in 2018 were determined to
  be preventable.

  Maternal Mortality Review Information Application (MMRIA)
  national database.

                               William Sappenfield, MD, MPH, CPH
                 Professor, Director of Chiles Center, University of South Florida


William M. Sappenfield, MD, MPH is professor and chair of the Department of Community and Family
Health and Director of the Lawton and Rhea Chiles Center for Healthy Mothers and Babies at the College
of Public Health, University of South Florida. He just started this new career opportunity at USF to teach
and develop new professionals in December 2011. His vision is to make the Chiles Center one of the
leading national centers in maternal and child health practice and research.

As both a pediatrician and an epidemiologist, Dr. Bill Sappenfield has more than 27 years of experience
in epidemiological teaching, research and practice in maternal and child health at a local, state and
national level. Dr. Sappenfield received his medical degree from Louisiana State University Health
Sciences Center in New Orleans in 1980 and his masters of public health with a concentration on
epidemiology from Harvard University in 1984. He completed his pediatric residency training at
Vanderbilt University Medical Center in 1983 and his preventive medicine residency training at the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 1987. He also received applied epidemiology
training through CDC’s Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) program from 1984 to 1986.

As a nationally recognized leader in the field of maternal and child health epidemiology, Dr. Sappenfield
spent the first 21 years of his career as a CDC epidemiologist working with state and local public health
agencies to enhance their capacity to use epidemiology to improve the health of the women and
children. This included being assigned to state public health agencies in Massachusetts, Mississippi and
South Carolina. He was also assigned to work at CityMatCH—a national public health organization
working with MCH Leaders in urban public health agencies, at the University of Nebraska Medical
Center. He completed his CDC career serving four years as Team Leader of their MCH Epidemiology
Program directly responsible for the national MCH EPI effort including mentoring senior MCH
epidemiologists assigned around the nation.

For the next six years, Dr. Sappenfield served at the Florida Department of Health as the State MCH
Epidemiologist and as Unit Director for the MCH Practice and Analysis Unit. His responsibilities include
leading the Department’s MCH epidemiology and evaluation efforts including directing a unit of six
epidemiologists; working with MCH programs in Family Health and other divisions; collaborating with
state agencies, organizations, and universities; and assisting County Health Departments and community
partners.

Dr. Sappenfield’s major contributions to the MCH field include early efforts to develop community-
based fetal and infant mortality reviews, to adapt the perinatal periods of risk approach to assess infant
mortality in U.S. communities, to propose state preconception health indicators and to shape best
practices in applied MCH epidemiology. His current research projects include: maternal and infant
mortality, chronic diseases during pregnancy, assistive reproductive technology, unintended pregnancy
and contraceptive use, non-medically indicated deliveries prior to 39 weeks, population-based perinatal
quality improvement efforts, access to childhood preventive dental care, and use of data file linkages in
maternal and child health. He continues to mentor both young and senior MCH epidemiologist in public
health practice around the nation.

Dr. Sappenfield has received several national and state awards. In 2003, he received the National MCH
Epidemiology Award for Outstanding Leadership sponsored by 16 national health organizations.
