This table presents the number of deaths after delivery in the 3 groups: fertile (no history of infertility), subfertile (indicators of subfertility but, no ART), and ART (ART treatment) which show a significant difference between the fertile group and both the subfertile and ART groups when all causes of mortality are included. Once the external causes are removed in the lower part of the table there is no significant difference between the groups.
