Abstract

With rapid estimate model, maternal mortality in China for the year of 1990 was estimated, where vital statistics system has not been well established. Since the original methodology failed to address the validity of estimate, the assessment was made by application of this method to the published figures in Japan from 1960 to 1990. The results manifested the model is good for the purpose of estimation when data of age-specific mortlity and fertility are available with limited registration failures. The maternal mortality rate in China, which was estimated with this model, was higher than that obtained in sampling survey of Chinese government. The multiple regression analysis suggested the sampling survey might fail to include maternal deaths from unplanned births.
