Mothers are the main family axes, so maternal mortality and disability will affect all dimensions of family health, so this study was performed aimed to inv-estigate the frequency and effective factors on pregnant women´s mortality in Ilam Province, Iran, 2002-2010.
Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional, short-term study was performed using data from the clinical records and completed questionnaire for pregnant women´s deaths in Ilam province. The data was analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics and chi-square by SPSS software version 7.

The highest (22.73%), in the age group 30 to 35 years (36.36%), first pregnancy (31.9%), urban number of maternal deaths were in 2004 resident (59.09%), illiterate or poorly educated (50%), housewife (90.9%), receiving special care during pregnancy (81.8%), Cesarean delivery (54.54%) and wanted pregnancy (72.7%). Bleeding was the most common cause of maternal mor-tality (22.7%). The cause of maternal mo-rtality has statistically significant associ-ation with maternal education level (P=0. 031), maternal age (P=0.029), requiring to special care(P=0.003), the time of dea-th(P=0.019)and the type of delive-ry(P=0.019).
