    Isn't this the thread where I ranted about data reporting issues for infant mortality when the OP was reporting on maternal mortality? :oops: Well, I don't really want to derail it, but since you asked: Sweden reports it differently.

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5488116/
    https://obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1471-0528.2001.00291.x

    I think the point I was trying to make two years ago is that, there are a butt load of differences in how countries collect and report these statistics (and there's even differences among states in the USA - yeah federalism), so until it's standardized, the data has reliability issues that need to be accounted for when doing analysis. And that process of data standardization is complicated and not friendly for headline-catching general public consumption.
