📝NEW DATA: Today, we released a multi-year report on maternal mortality covering 2017-2021. The report was written by experts across the state who were tasked with examining the causes and contributing factors associated with maternal mortality. This effort is also designed to identify recommendations to prevent these deaths from occurring in the future. Key findings (2017-2021): ✏️ An average of 70 Missouri women died while pregnant or within one year of pregnancy. ✏️ The pregnancy-related mortality ratio was 32.2 deaths per 100,000 live births. ✏️ The pregnancy-related mortality ratio for Black women was 2.5 times the ratio of white women. This is a decline from the previous three reports. ✏️ All pregnancy-related deaths due to mental health conditions, including substance use disorder, were determined to be preventable. 77% percent of all pregnancy-related deaths were determined to be preventable. ✏️ Almost half (44%) of all pregnancy-related suicides over five years (2017 to 2021) occurred in 2020. ✏️ COVID-19 was the cause of death for 2 in 3 pregnancy-related deaths due to infection in 2021. ✏️ Women living in micropolitan counties had the highest ratio of pregnancy-related deaths (38 per 100,000 live births). Prior reports found women living in metropolitan counties had the highest ratio. This report, as well as additional data, is available at Health.Mo.Gov/pamr.

DHSS has determined that three unassociated individuals who stayed at Roaring River Lodge and RV Park in Cassville were diagnosed with Legionnaires' disease within 14 days after their stay. People can get Legionnaires' disease, a serious type of pneumonia, by breathing in small water droplets containing Legionella bacteria. In general, people do not spread Legionnaires' disease to other people, and it is not dangerous to most populations. People who have weakened immune systems or are over 50 years of age may experience severe symptoms. Pneumonia symptoms typically include cough, shortness of breath, fever, muscle aches and headaches. Additional symptoms may be present, such as confusion, nausea or diarrhea. Contact your doctor if you start experiencing symptoms, especially if you have recently visited this resort. #Legionnaires #LegionnairesDisease #Pneumonia
