How many maternal mortality's have been attributed to meningiomas on the register as a percentage.
We said
Thank you for your enquiry.
We are responsible for producing mortality statistics for England and Wales, using the information supplied when a death is registered. Unfortunately the death certificate does not provide information as to whether the deceased was pregnant at the time of death.
Cause of death is coded using version 10 of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), where deaths where the underlying cause was meningiomas would be assigned the ICD-10 code D32 (Benign neoplasm of meninges) and deaths to unspecified Brain Tumours would be coded to D43.2.
Statistics for deaths by sex, age, geography and underlying cause are available for 2013-2017 from our explorable dataset:

Other special extracts and tabulations of deaths data for England and Wales are available (subject to legal frameworks, disclosure control, resources and agreement of costs, where appropriate). You can contact the team directly at: vsob@ons.gov.uk
Alternatively, the MBRRACE-UK programme of work is responsible for the national Confidential Enquiry into Maternal Deaths (CEMD) within the United Kingdom. You may be able to contact MBRRACE-UK for data on maternal deaths: https://www.npeu.ox.ac.uk/mbrrace-uk
