A warning from the cradle?

چکیده
LE TAUX DE MORTALITÉ INFANTILE est généralement reconnu comme un indicateur valable de la santé de la population d’un pays. Comme le signalent les Drs K.S. Joseph et Michael S. Kramer (page 535), après avoir diminué constamment pendant des années, le taux au Canada a augmenté légèrement de 1992 à 1993 et il est resté stable en 1994. Ils font état également d’une hausse marquée du taux de naissances prématurées de 1991 à 1994, phénomène qui peut être relié au taux de mortalité. Selon une analyse géographique, le taux de faible poids à la naissance a diminué au Québec, mais il a augmenté en Ontario de 1987 à 1994. Dans leur recherche d’explications, les Drs Joseph et Kramer ont découvert des erreurs sérieuses relativement à la saisie des données en Ontario pour 1993 et 1994, erreurs qui invalident les comparaisons pour ces années. Néanmoins, les fluctuations du taux de faible poids à la naissance même avant 1993 étaient prononcées tant en Ontario qu’au Québec. Il y a des écarts marqués entre les 2 provinces pour ce qui est du niveau des services visant à corriger les effets des désavantages socio-économiques chez les femmes enceintes. Il faut un système national exact d’acquisition et de surveillance des données périnatales pour éviter les erreurs de saisie des données et favoriser les comparaisons entre les provinces. La hausse du taux de mortalité infantile pourrait être l’indice d’une détérioration générale de la santé de la population; les tendances doivent par conséquent être minutieusement suivies.
