Recommendations for collection and reporting of abortion-related mortality data
• Prioritize transparency
Specify data sources, clearly describe statistical models, and, where possible make data, coding, and publications publically available/open access.
• Acknowledge limitations of data
Identify potential biases, describe hypothesized direction and magnitude of biases, and convey probable impact on results.
• Contextualize results
Facilitate interpretation of abortion-related mortality estimates by presenting and interpreting results within a context of abortion safety and incidence.
