Analysis of Maternal Deaths in Oaxaca through Bayesian Networks

Maternal mortality has shown a considerable decrease in countries where the rate of development is higher. This is not the case for Mexico where a large number of annual maternal deaths are still perceived, which turns out to be a public health problem in which the World Health Organization (WHO) considers indigenous populations with a higher rate of maternal deaths, as is the case in the state of Oaxaca. The aim of this paper is to carry out an analysis of maternal deaths during the period 2014-2016 in the municipalities of this state in order to identify the main causes that cause it, factors that intervene in it and municipalities with the highest rate of this problem. The analysis has revealed that the National Institute of Social Security (IMSS) is the site where the highest number of deaths occurred, as well as identifying the main causes that lead to maternal mortality, determining that it is not enough to have Public and Private Health institutions, but they must have a better care system and equipment for care, without leaving aside the cultural aspect of the inhabitants of the municipalities of the state of Oaxaca.
