The “Severe Maternal Morbidity (SMM) Report April 2025” provides a comprehensive analysis of SMM trends in Virginia from 2019 to 2024. It highlights that SMM rates, which spiked during the COVID-19 pandemic, are now recovering to pre-pandemic levels. The report identifies acute renal failure as the leading cause of SMM and notes significant disparities in SMM rates based on race, payer type, and age, with higher rates observed in Black, Medicaid, and older maternal populations. The data, sourced from the Virginia Maternal Health Dashboard, underscores the importance of consistent definitions and reliable data collection methods to improve maternal health outcomes.
