Decoding Maternal Morbidity Data Challenge
Overview
In 2021, NICHD launched the Decoding Maternal Morbidity Data Challenge to help advance research on maternal health and promote healthy pregnancies. The goal of the challenge was to devise new ways of analyzing data from NICHD’s Nulliparous Pregnancy Outcomes Study: Monitoring Mothers-to-be (nuMoM2b) to identify factors that impact maternal morbidity and severe maternal morbidity so that clinicians can more quickly and accurately identify and treat pregnancy-related conditions and prevent severe illness or death for a pregnant person. Twelve prizes totaling $400,000 were awarded to seven proposals.
Topic Areas
The goal of the challenge is not to replicate prior findings but to focus on new discoveries using the nuMoM2b data. Potential areas for exploration include prescription drug use, diet, the quality of healthcare including health provider, insurance or access to healthcare, risk factors for adverse outcomes, and the intersection of multiple factors.
Because maternal mortality and maternal morbidity adversely impact disadvantaged racial and ethnic minorities at a much higher rate than other groups, additional credit was given to solutions addressing these communities.
Seven prizes of $50,000 were awarded for innovation, and an additional five prizes of $10,000 were awarded for health disparities. The following are winning teams/individuals (in alphabetical order); asterisks denote winners of both prize categories:
