Source: WDI (2008: CD version) Note: The table shows modeled estimates based on an
exercise by the World Health Organization (WHO), United
Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and the World Bank.
For countries with complete vital registration systems with
good attribution of cause-of-death information, the data are
used as reported. For countries with national data either
from complete vital registration systems with uncertain or
poor attribution of cause-of-death information, or from
household surveys, reported maternal mortality was
adjusted, usually by a factor of underenumeration and
misclassification. For countries with no empirical national
data (about 35 percent of countries), maternal mortality was
estimated with a regression model using socioeconomic
information, including fertility, birth attendants, and GDP.
