Key Points Question What is the association between the number of indicators of severe maternal morbidities and maternal mortality in Ontario, Canada? Findings In a population-based cohort study of 1.9 million hospital births in Ontario, Canada, the number of severe maternal morbidity indicators was associated with all-cause mortality within 42 days after the index delivery.
