TL;DR
Inadequate obstetric services are associated with maternal mortality in Japan, and reducing single-obstetrician only delivery patterns and establishing regional 24-hour inpatient obstetrics facilities for high-risk cases may reduce maternal mortality.

The high proportion that are due to management errors suggests that many others are potentially preventable now, and reducing the incidence of these events will require identifying their causes and developing methods to prevent error or reduce its effects.

Adverse drug events were common and often preventable; serious ADEs were more likely to be preventable and prevention strategies should target both stages of the drug delivery process.

By seeking to eliminate errors in the system of providing care and raising the awareness of health care providers about the potential for AEs, programs can be established to address and possibly remedy this serious problem.

The majority of adverse events and episodes of negligent care are discoverable with the methods used to evaluate medical records, and the adverse events the authors failed to discover led to less costly malpractice claims.
