Abstract
The eighth report from the National Clinical
Audit of Severe Maternal Morbidity (SMM)
in Ireland reports on 375 cases of SMM
occurring in all 19 Irish maternity units in
2019.
The SMM rate is a composite rate of a group of
clearly defined severe maternal morbidities.
Over two thirds of the women who
experienced SMM in 2019 were diagnosed
with one morbidity (n=253, 67.5%); 25%
(n=95) were diagnosed with two morbidities;
6% (n=24) with three SMMs; 0.5% (n=2) with
four morbidities; and 0.3% (n=1) with five
morbidities.
The SMM rate has shown a steady increase
since the reference year of 2011. From 2011
to 2019, the SMM rate has increased by 68%
from 3.85 to 6.47 per 1,000 maternities.
The incidence has changed from one case
of SMM for every 260 maternities in 2011 to
one case in 155 maternities in 2019.
