Resumo: | The maternal mortality rate is a highly sensitive indicator for the health level of both women and the general population in a given geographical area. There is extensive variability among different countries, and rates are high in underdeveloped or developing areas, as in Brazil. Health authorities from various countries have launched programs aimed at reducing maternal deaths and have thus needed to estimate the actual rates to allow for a proper assessment and to control the programs' progress. However, there are many obstacles and difficulties in obtaining the real values of these measures, mainly because of incomplete data. The aim of this paper is to present some of the proposed methodologies for estimating maternal mortality rates and to call attention to the limits and biases of these methods. Based on the Brazilian case, the article also recommends an improvement in the quality and coverage of the Civil Registry, the official source of data on births and deaths. |

Há grande disparidade entre as taxas (ou razões) referentes a diferentes áreas, sendo seu valor bastante elevado nos países subdesenvolvidos ou em desenvolvimento, como é o caso do Brasil. Numerosos países adotaram programas visando a redução da mortalidade materna, necessitando, então, conhecer as respectivas taxas (ou razões) para avaliar e monitorar esses programas. Ocorrem, por várias motivos, dificuldades em conhecer a verdadeira magnitude dessas mensurações. O trabalho apresenta métodos propostos para estimar a mortalidade materna, destacando-se a necessidade de ver com certa reserva os métodos indiretos, preferindo-se sempre, como no caso do Brasil, o aperfeiçoamento do registro civil, fonte legítima dos dados de nascimentos e de mortes.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2000-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/1315Reports in Public Health; Vol. 16 No. 1 (2000): January/MarchCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 16 n. 1 (2000): Janeiro/Março1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZporhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/1315/2618https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/1315/2619Laurenti, RuyMello-Jorge, M.

However, there are many obstacles and difficulties in obtaining the real values of these measures, mainly because of incomplete data. The aim of this paper is to present some of the proposed methodologies for estimating maternal mortality rates and to call attention to the limits and biases of these methods.
