Abstract
Comparing abortion-related death and pregnancy-related death remains difficult due to the limitations within the Abortion Mortality Surveillance System and the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD). These methods lack a systematic and comprehensive method of collecting complete records regarding abortion outcomes in each state and fail to properly identify longitudinal cause of death related to induced abortion. This article seeks to analyze the current method of comparing abortion-related death with pregnancy-related death and provide solutions to improve data collection regarding these subjects.
