Esta investigación pretende cuantificar las diferencias en la razón de mortalidad materna en las provincias de la República Dominicana, considerando las distintas condiciones sociales a la que estas mujeres están expuestas. Se utilizó la información proveniente de registro de estadísticas vitales. Se calculó la asociación entre la razón de mortalidad materna y ciertos indicadores socioeconómicos seleccionados. Se calcularon las métricas de desigualdad tomando en cuenta los indicadores socioeconómicos que se hallaron significativamente asociados con la razón de mortalidad materna, resultando esta dos veces mayor en los territorios más desfavorecidos socialmente, comparados con los territorios que se encontraron en mejores condiciones sociales.
This research aims to quantify the differences in the maternal mortality rate in the provinces of the Dominican Republic, considering the different social conditions to which these women are exposed. Information from the vital statistics registry was used. The association between the maternal mortality rate and certain selected socioeconomic indicators was calculated. The inequality metrics were calculated considering the socioeconomic indicators that were found to be significantly associated with the maternal mortality rate, resulting in two times higher in the most socially disadvantaged territories, compared to the territories that were found in better social conditions.
