BACKGROUND There has been a considerable decline in fetal and neonatal mortality in the Western world. The authors hypothesized that this decline has been largest for boys, since boys have a higher risk of fetal and neonatal death. METHODS The authors used data from the Medical Birth Registry about all births in Norway to study changes during 1967-2005 in mortality for boys and girls from the...

Background & aim: One of the factors of affecting maternal anxiety is a history of fetal death or neonatal death. This anxiety affects fetal and maternal health. By consideration the impact of anxiety on fetal and maternal health and the lack of protective activities in this field, this study was done to determine the impact of adaptation with pregnancy educational package on anxiety and matern...

Advances in perinatal technology that improved survival may have also resulted in prolonged death from the neonatal to the postneonatal period for some infants. The objectives of this study were to determine if the medical advances that occurred in the 1990s benefited infants of multiple births more than their singleton counterparts, and if these changes prevented or postponed mortality for the...

AIMS To investigate infant deaths in Cumbria, 1950-93, in relation to individual and community level socioeconomic status. METHODS Retrospective birth cohort study of all 283,668 live births and 4889 infant deaths in Cumbria, 1950-93. Community deprivation (Townsend score) and individual social class were used to estimate socioeconomic status. Logistic regression was used to investigate risk ...

OBJECTIVE to determine whether C. trachomatis was present in neonates with infection, but without an isolated pathogen, who died during the first week of life. METHODS early neonatal death cases whose causes of death had been previously adjudicated by the institutional mortality committee were randomly selected. End-point and real-time polymerase chain reaction of the C. trachomatis omp1 gene...

To analyse the mortality rates, causes of death and trends over time in children aged under five years in Henan province and to provide preventive advice to attempt to decrease the mortality rates of these children, a retrospective study was conducted, analysing the vital statistics data from 2004 to 2008 from the annual report of maternal and child health in Henan. The early neonatal (<7 days)...

Introduction: Early Neonatal Death gave of 2/3 infact death. The purpose this study aim to the effect family planning with early neonatal Methode: This is a quantitative design case kontrol research at primary health care in Sarmi on June 1st - November 31st, 2020 samples are mothers who experienced death 34 people and did not experience events 166 ratio 1: 5. uses medical record data 2017-2019...

AIMS This study examines predictors of neonatal and postneonatal mortality among infants born to black, white, and Hispanic women. METHODS Linked birth/infant death records from North Carolina for the period 1999-2007 were the source of data. Logistic regression models were constructed to estimate the effect of maternal and infant characteristics on neonatal (<28 days) and postneonatal (28-36...

There are two markers in the evaluation of perinatal medicine, i.e. they are the maternal mortality rate (maternal death rate per 100,000 births) (X) and perinatal mortality rate (still births and early neonatal death within 1 week in 1,000 births) (Y). The maternal mortality is discussed before perinatal mortality in this paper, because the perinatal mortality closely correlated to maternal mo...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare maternal characteristics and neonatal morbidity and mortality rates that are associated with early-onset neonatal sepsis that is caused by group B Streptococcus and Escherichia coli. STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective review of newborn infants with a positive blood culture (and/or cerebrospinal fluid) that was positive for either E coli or...
