It's been quite a year.
A 🧵.
Today marks one year since I was fired for explaining TN's mature minor doctrine to physicians who were vaccinating teens against #COVID19. It's been a long, disturbing, challenging year. TN continues make things hard for Tennesseans.

Since my firing, TN has continued to be near the bottom for #COVID19 vax rates overall (43rd). Among children 5-11 it's (47th) w/ 0% improvement since 6/15. Among 12-17yo, it's 49th w/ 0% improvement since 6/15. TN is among states w/ the highest counts of MIS-C.

>26,500 Tennesseans dead-- that's 1 in 257 Tennesseans. Nearly half a million cases and 42 deaths in Tennesseans under age 21. Pfizer vaccine is now FDA approved for 12+ and authorized for 6mo+. Vaccines reduce hospitalization and deaths.

2/ If passed, the bill would create a task force on maternal #mentalhealth which would identify, evaluate, make recommendations to coordinate & improve federal responses to maternal mental health conditions, create a national strategic plan for addressing mental health disorders.

Each year ~700 women die during or within a year of their pregnancy d/t pregnancy-related/associated complications despite studies that show >1/2 of pregnancy-related deaths are preventable.

(1/5) Abortion industry advocates continually disregard the true impact of abortion on maternal mortality, as evidenced by Thursday's House Oversight hearing. Time and again, we have pointed to the need for better data collection to help protect our patients.
(2/5) Our @AAPLOG #CommitteeOpinion on #maternalmortality extensively outlines why maternal mortality data is so incomplete and how we could improve it: aaplog.org/wp-content/upl…
(3/5) Abortionists would rather pretend the problem doesn't exist than improve the data. Abortion providers deal with less than half of their patient's abortion complications, yet tout their complication rates as evidence for the safety of abortion: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33939340/
.@POTUS’ FY 22 discretionary budget proposal demonstrates a great step in the right direction with investments in critical programs that impact our members and their patients’ health. @acog is encouraged to see: 1/
- Over $200M to help address #maternalmortality and morbidity w/ a focus on addressing race-based inequities in maternal health outcomes through investments in rural areas, #MMRCs, training to improve culturally congruent care & more 2/
- Critical investments to promote health equity in health care system, confront racial disparities in health outcomes, expand access to culturally competent care, diversify the health care workforce, and address #SDOH 3/

#Halifax would have been amazing - @ruthi_landau and I worked incredibly hard with our amazing management team to bring you an innovative agenda and in many ways we reimagined the way @SOAPHQ delivers an annual meeting #MedThread #Tweetorial #OBAnes #Ostheimer
Most of us have never lived through something like #COVID19 - As we embrace the new normal, remind ourselves of strategies to address our own wellness as physician leaders on the frontline - let's continue to look out for one another! #MedThread #Tweetorial #OBAnes #Ostheimer

Finally taking a deep dive into the new @CDCgov National Vital Statistics Report on #maternalmortality in the US. This report represents the first national sample of maternal deaths gathered from a pregnancy status checkbox on death certificates. Thread.
@CDCgov According to the report, 658 women experienced maternal death in 2018, for a pregnancy-related mortality rate of 17.4 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births. This is an incomplete picture - and a gross underestimate - of the maternal mortality crisis in our country.
The #NairobiSummit kicks off today! We have you covered with all things #SRHR, starting with a new Editorial commemorating 25 years since the first #ICPD in Cairo hubs.ly/H0lKC6Z0 #ICPD25
@NairobiSummit Our Editorial highlights the opportunities for the #NairobiSummit as:
- an important rallying opportunity, in light of upcoming US elections
- a chance for governments to make economic, political & practical commitments to implement the #ICPD Programme hubs.ly/H0lKC6Z0

2/x- The disturbing racial disparities in America’s #MaternalHealth outcomes mirror racial inequality among our nation’s infant mortality rates.
The @CDCgov found the infant mortality rate for black babies in our nation is TWICE that of white babies. ajc.com/news/national/…

3/x- Per @BrookingsInst:
“this is not just a poverty story. Babies born to well educated, middle-class black mothers are more likely to die before their first birthday than babies born to poor white mothers with less than a high school education”

Nigeria contributes 30% of pediatric HIV infections globally - @IsaacFAdewole
“Our women are not disposables. We must change the narrative around maternal deaths” - @IsaacFAdewole
There is no excuse for the lack of organized data surrounding #MaternalMortality and its racial disparities. Black women are still 3-4x more likely to die from pregnancy complications, even when you control for socioeconomic differences. #MaternalJustice
Hard truth is that this issue is bigger than a health chart. It's about how + why the voices of black patients are discounted or denied. Not a phenomenon limited to health care by any means - a societal stain this country desperately must address. #MaternalJustice
While I appreciate state-level efforts to make #MaternalJustice a priority - CA has made great strides with inequity in maternal care, and my home state of MA is studying autopsy reports & medical charts of those who suffered maternal deaths - we must do better.
Black women are 243% more likely to die from pregnancy or childbirth related causes than white women. We can’t address solutions to #MaternalMortality without discussing solutions to the systemic racism buried deep within our nation’s health care system. #MaternalJustice
In 2014, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination urged the US to eliminate racial disparities in the repro health field & collect data for #MaternalMortality - yet no systems exist. We need #MaternalJustice before more mothers fall btwn the cracks.
It's an injustice of unacceptable proportion that the richest, most powerful, most innovative nation on earth would allow skin color to impact something as profoundly universal as pregnancy and childbirth. We can - and must - do better. #MaternalJustice
1/ Public image of maternal death is a woman who, in dramatic moments immediately surrounding birth, suffers terrible tragedy
latest @CDCgov data tells different story...rather than waiting to publish academic paper, decided to share analysis right away

2/ first of all, > 80% maternal death does not occur on the day of delivery... >60% does not even occur within a week of delivery
The great majority of these deaths are at home or in the community...NOT in the hospital

3/ second, causes of maternal death shifting...deaths due to acute pregnancy conditions (hypertension, hemorrhage) have been declining for decades
meanwhile, deaths due to chronic conditions, particularly mental health on the upswing
