> Now do maternal death rate

Sure!

Turns out the CDC changed the way it counts maternal deaths, while other countries didn't, so you're comparing different measures.

The old US measure was deaths that occurred during birth or shortly thereafter, now it's within six months and they added a check box only asking if the woman had been pregnant in the last year.

Not "this woman died because of poor maternal care", but rather "this woman who died had been pregnant in the last year".

This change immediately doubled the number. The data was wildly overestimating maternal deaths and in fact the CDC and many states are revising data collection to improve the number.
