Abstract: Expectancy and childbirth is considered as the sweetest and also the most dangerous period of life time among people. Mother is known as the core member, health factor and prosperity of others in the family. Mother��?s death causes irreparable damages for the family and the society. Pregnant women��?s morality rates in light of complications of pregnancy and childbirth is the most important index of development status of a country and the reason for choosing this index as the most prominent development index is the effect of various social and economic factors on its decrease or increase. This index is a function of factors such as women��?s literacy statues, rural roads network, access to urgent obstetrics and childbirth, the cost of health service, the existence of communication networks and household income. Mother��?s death definition includes mother��?s death during pregnancy or during childbirth and 42 days after the end of pregnancy for any reason other than events. Mother��?s death is a major problem. In this study, the morality rate of pregnant woman in Kurdistan province was studied in a 15_year period. Methodology: For this retrospective descriptive cross_ sectional study, all cases related to the health of pregnant mothers who were registered in hospital and health centers of Kurdistan province were studied and sent to the provincial capital of the province from the beginning of 1380 to the end of 1395.

Findings: In the age of 15 years, 91 cases of maternal death occurred which is 20.93 per 100,000 live births. The highest number of deaths was reported in 1383 with 13 deaths and the lowest in 1387 and 1384 with 2 maternal deaths. The average age of mothers is 30.53 years and the average number of pregnancies is 3. Of the 91 deaths, 18 had abortion history, of which 50.4% were resident in the city and 49.5% were rural resident. Most of the mothers were 48 years old and the lowest age was 19 years. 70% of these mothers had experienced three or fewer pregnancies, and 59.3% of these mothers had cesarean section and 26.4% had normal delivery, and one mother had died due to curettage. The place of these mothers��? death mostly was in the hospital (82.5%), 10.9% of the place of death was in the home and 6.6% of the time they reached to the hospital. Of the 91 deaths during this time period, only 27.5% of these cases were autopsied and 72.5% had no autopsy. Mothers��? death frequency include (83.5%) postpartum and then during the pregnancy (13%) which resulted in the death of the baby, and the lowest frequency is during the delivery with (3.5%). The most common causes of death of pregnant women were bleeding (27%), embolism (20%), pregnancy toxicity (14%), unknown (8%), DIC (6%), heart disease (5%), respectively. 27 cases of indirect deaths and 64 cases (70%) were direct deaths. Of these, 23% of the pregnancies were unwanted and an illicit pregnancy occurred. Conclusion: According to the results, it can be said that social support of pregnant mothers is one of the important measures in the health of mothers in any situation. The awareness of their mothers and their wives for timely referral, prevention of high risk pregnancies, multiple pregnancy at high ages, increased quality of provision of services Hospitals, the existence of warning systems in relief and timely action in hospitals and the avoidance of unnecessary cesareans will be effective in reducing the death of pregnant mothers, which should be addressed by relevant authorities.
