Does Place of Birth Matter? Spatial Analysis of Infant and Under-five Mortality Rates in India

This study examines spatial patterns in infant and under-five mortality rates in India at the levels of NSS-regions and Census-districts. We find significant spatial correlation both at the national and local level meaning that both global and local environment influences the mortality rates. We identify Assam-East as a spatial outlier. Besides, there exist several hotand cold-spots in the coun...

Neonatal and "perinatal" mortality rates by birth weight.

Neonatal and "perinatal" mortality rates by birth weight were compared for Sheffield and for England and Wales. The fall in neonatal mortality rate for Sheffield infants weighing 2500 g or less was partly due to the excessive fall in numbers in the 1000 g or less group: this effect was also present in England and Wales but was less pronounced. Perinatal mortality rates may be lowered either by ...

A comparison of perinatal and infant mortality rates in British Columbia and Finland: Similarities and differences

Introduction: Despite similarities, perinatal and infant mortality rates between British Columbia, (BC) Canada and Finland differ. Key variables that may influence stillbirth, early neonatal, perinatal and infant mortality rates in BC and Finland were studied. Methods: After standardizing definitions, data for all births between 2001 and 2009 from provincial and national registries were used to...
