  abstract = {{B}ackground: {W}omen continue to die in unacceptably large numbers around the world as a result of pregnancy, particularly in sub-{S}aharan {A}frica and {A}sia. {P}art of the problem is a lack of accurate, population-based information characterising the issues and informing solutions. {P}opulation surveillance sites, such as those operated within the {INDEPTH} {N}etwork, have the potential to contribute to bridging the information gaps. {O}bjective: {T}o describe patterns of pregnancy-related mortality at {INDEPTH} {N}etwork {H}ealth and {D}emographic {S}urveillance {S}ystem sites in sub-{S}aharan {A}frica and southeast {A}sia in terms of maternal mortality ratio ({MMR}) and cause-specific mortality rates. {D}esign: {D}ata on individual deaths among women of reproductive age ({WRA}) (15–49) resident in {INDEPTH} sites were collated into a standardised database using the {INDEPTH} 2013 population standard, the {WHO} 2012 verbal autopsy ({VA}) standard, and the {I}nter{VA} model for assigning cause of death. {R}esults: {T}hese analyses are based on reports from 14 {INDEPTH} sites, covering 14,198 deaths among {WRA} over 2,595,605 person-years observed. {MMR}s varied between 128 and 461 per 100,000 live births, while maternal mortality rates ranged from 0.11 to 0.74 per 1,000 person-years. {D}etailed rates per cause are tabulated, including analyses of direct maternal, indirect maternal, and incidental pregnancy-related deaths across the 14 sites. {C}onclusions: {A}s expected, these findings confirmed unacceptably high continuing levels of maternal mortality. {H}owever, they also demonstrate the effectiveness of {INDEPTH} sites and of the {VA} methods applied to arrive at measurements of maternal mortality that are essential for planning effective solutions and monitoring programmatic impacts.},
