[Maternal mortality in central Serbia].
This paper described the trend of official maternal mortality rate in Serbia excluding provinces for the last 30 years and it was investigated whether it was underregistered. Data for calculation of the official rate of maternal mortality were obtained from the publications of the official health statistics. Five hundred and three death certificates of women in reproductive period, that died in the period May-December 1992 in central Serbia, were examined to investigate underregistration. Notable decrease of the official rate of maternal mortality found in the period of 30 years, could be the basis for satisfaction if the results of investigation did not suggest that the significant number of maternal deaths was underregistered.
