a MMR and PM are calculated for women 15-49 years.
b Live birth data are from United Nations, Population Division. World Population Prospects 2019. New York: UN Population Division,
Department of Economic and Social Affairs, 2019.
c The uncertainty intervals (UI) for all estimates refer to the 80% uncertainty intervals (10th and 90th percentiles of the posterior distributions).
This was chosen as opposed to the more standard 95% intervals because of the substantial uncertainty inherent in maternal mortality outcomes.
* Figures presented in the table are estimates based on national data, such as surveys or administrative records, or other sources, produced by the international
agency when country data for some year(s) is not available, when multiple sources exist, or when there are data quality issues.

Predictor variables used in the model
Year GDP per capita, PPP General Fertility Rate per Skilled Birth Attendant (%
(constant 2011 Int $)v 1000 women 15-49 of births)
2000 599 188 49.0
2005 763 183 56.0
2010 949 174 63.0
2015 1138 164 70.0

v A 5-year moving average was calculated.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita measured in purchasing power parity (PPP) equivalent
dollars using 2011 as the baseline year were taken from World Bank Group (World Development
Indicators published July 30, 2019) supplemented by other sources (e.g. United Nations, the
International Monetary Fund, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development,
and MMEIG member’s estimates) used to inform trends in instances with missing country-years
in the World Bank Group data set.
