“…In India, Shah et al found that stillbirth rates among women without antenatal care (ANC) were higher than women with ANC [9]. Our data support prior studies, Reeske et al reported that mothers living in the most deprived areas had an increased risk of stillbirth, as did women who were or had a partner who was unemployed [10,11]. Stanton C et al reported the vast majority of the world's 3.2 million annual stillbirths occur in low-and middle-income countries [12].…”

Objective: To determine the incidence, and some causes of intra uterine fetal death (IUFD). Methods:This was a prospective observational study of all stillbirths over 2 years from April 2011 to April 2013 at the Imam Ali University Teaching Hospital of zahedan, Iran. The variables studied were the following: demographic characteristic, fetal factors and maternal factors. Data was collected prospectively by directly interviewing the pregnant women and from the medical chart. Data were analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) statistical package. Results:The incidence of IUFD at our hospital was 88.7 per 1000 total births. The intra uterine fetal death rate had been increased in maternal ages under 20 years and above 35 years that showed a significant difference between this group and other groups (P=0.001).The rate of IUFD tend to increase significantly in primiparous women and women with parity 10 and more. The rate of IUFD tended to decreased with increasing gestational age. There were 437 (54.1%) macerated and 370 (45.8%) fresh death fetus. Unexplained' IUFD, Major congenital malformations, PROM, and preeclampsia were the three main causes of intra uterine fetal death.Discussion: Unfortunately, in our study the incidence of IUFD was very high. The main risk factors identified were lack of antenatal care. Despite the difficulty in predicting IUFD occurrence, it appears that carefully implemented antenatal care, family planning, genetic counseling and timely management of at risk patients may contribute to its prevention.

“…French women of Afro-Caribbean origin experience the highest PTB rates [29] and those of Sub Saharan African origin have the greatest odds of perinatal mortality [30]. Migrants from the Middle East and North Africa (including Turkey) in Germany have significantly higher risks of fetal death than non-migrants [152]. Foreign born women in Nordic countries have relatively higher adjusted risks of perinatal mortality [154], higher FMRs, and poorer birth outcomes [155].…”

Infant mortality (IM) and birth outcomes, key population health indicators, have lifelong implications for individuals, and are unequally distributed globally. Even among western industrialized nations, striking cross-country and within-country patterns are evident. We sought to better understand these variations across and within the United States of America (USA) and Western Europe (WE), by conceptualizing a social determinants of IM/birth outcomes framework, and systematically reviewing the empirical literature on hypothesized social determinants (e.g., social policies, neighbourhood deprivation, individual socioeconomic status (SES)) and intermediary determinants (e.g., health behaviours). To date, the evidence suggests that income inequality and social policies (e.g., maternal leave policies) may help to explain cross-country variations in IM/birth outcomes. Within countries, the evidence also supports neighbourhood SES (USA, WE) and income inequality (USA) as social determinants. By contrast, within-country social cohesion/social capital has been underexplored. At the individual level, mixed associations have been found between individual SES, race/ethnicity, and selected intermediary factors (e.g., psychosocial factors) with IM/birth outcomes. Meanwhile, this review identifies several methodological gaps, including the underuse of prospective designs and the presence of residual confounding in a number of studies. Ultimately, addressing such gaps including through novel approaches to strengthen causal inference and implementing both health and non-health policies may reduce inequities in IM/birth outcomes across the western developed world.

“…Workers with lower social status in Sweden had a higher risk of stillbirth compared to senior white-collar workers [14]. This issue has also been studied in terms of maternal origin and ethnic group [15, 16]. Working conditions among immigrants can be expected to be less favourable than those of the native population.…”

Background. The purpose of this paper is to determine the relative mortality risks at delivery and during the first week of life with regard to maternal and foetal characteristics. Methods. Yearly individual digital records on live births and early neonatal mortality were used to infer the possible factors involved in perinatal deaths. Results. The results show that the number of births per year declined with time throughout the period studied. At the same time, rates decreased in 66.4% for stillbirths and in 70.2% for early neonatal mortality. Logistic regressions modelled the interaction of the two mortality indicators and covariables such as birth weight and the duration of gestation. Conclusions. This research provides a first biodemographic approach to the knowledge of factors influencing perinatal mortality in Portugal based on a set of foetal and maternal variables. Although the magnitude of the different perinatal mortality rates may be affected by the criteria used for selecting cases (multiple-singletons; minimum birth weight or minimum duration of gestation), one of the conclusions of the present analysis is that the relationship among the maternal and foetal variables that determine the relative risk remains unaltered. Certain resemblance with the factors determining negative birth outcomes in Spain is appreciated.
