Maternal Mortality Ratio in Bolívar Department, Colombia (2010-2023)

Maternal mortality ratio data for the Bolívar Department in Colombia, calculated as the number of maternal deaths per 100,000 live births. The dataset includes annual figures from 2010 to 2023, broken down by municipality, with separate columns for numerators, denominators, and calculated results for each year. It originates from the Colombian government's open data portal, sourced from SISPRO vital statistics for deaths and births.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal trends in maternal mortality using Resultado columns (e.g., Resultado 2011, Resultado 2023) across 14 years.
• Compare mortality rates between municipalities by aggregating annual Resultado figures for specific geographic units.
• Calculate year-over-year changes in maternal deaths and live births using paired Numerador and Denominador columns (e.g., Numerador 2020, Denominador 2020).
• Model the relationship between maternal deaths and birth rates using the full time series of Numerador and Denominador columns.

Strengths

• Data spans 14 consecutive years (2010-2023), providing a long-term view of trends.
• Includes breakdowns by municipality, allowing for sub-regional analysis.
• Calculation methodology (Numerador/Denominador*100,000) is explicitly stated in the source description.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and completeness for each municipality-year require manual inspection after download.
