Objective: to analyze temporal series of postpartum maternal lethality according to gestational risk and mode of delivery by the Unified Health System in Brazil and regions, 2010-2019. Methods: ecological time series study with data from the Hospital Information System; the hospital postpartum maternal lethality rate considered maternal hospitalizations with hospital discharge due to death, by the total hospitalizations, per year according to gestational risk and mode of delivery, in the regions of Brazil. Results: there were 19.158.167 admissions for childbirth and 5.110 deaths in the period; maternal lethality rose from 1.10 in 2010 to 1.9 deaths/10.000 in 2019 in low-risk pregnancies after vaginal deliveries and decreased from 10,5 to 7,0 deaths/10.000 in high-risk pregnancies after cesarean sections; Midwest expressed the highest and the South the lowest fatality rate for high-risk pregnancies. Conclusion: Hospital lethality was higher in high-risk pregnancies, with differences according to mode of delivery and regions of Brazil.
