Regulatory policy (RP) is known as a major factor to improve health care system performance. A significant difference in maternal mortality rates (MMRs) was observed between New York city (NYC) and Shanghai (SH), both first-class international metropolises. This study aims to adopt a quantitative evaluation model to analyze whether RP differences contribute to the different MMRs of the two cities.
