Stillbirths and infant deaths among migrants in industrialized countries

Abstract: Mortality risk among babies born to migrants is not consistently higher, but appears to be greatest among refugees, non-European migrants to Europe, and foreign-born blacks in the US. To understand this variation better, more information is needed about migrant background, such as length of time in receiving country and receiving country language fluency. Additional data on demographic, health care, biological, medical, and socioeconomic risk factors should be gathered and analyzed in greater detail.

“…A large registry-linkage study was undertaken including all live-born singletons in the period from 1973-2004 to mothers born in Denmark (1,754,953) and the ten largest migrant groups; Sweden (6,254), Norway (6,230), Former Yugoslavia (10,109) consisting of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia-Montenegro, Croatia, Macedonia and Slovenia, Somalia (7,058), Lebanon (10,029), Pakistan (10,947), Turkey (25,958), Afghanistan (1,417), Iran (2,956) and Iraq (5,439), comprising a total of n=1,841,450 children. The study database was created by a linkage of population-based registries at the national Danish Statistics Bureau, Statistics Denmark.…”

“…After a review of the literature on perinatal health outcomes among migrants in western industrialized countries, Gissler et al (2009) reported that stillbirth risk among babies born to migrants is not consistently higher than those born to natives. In the present study, however, the stillbirth rate for non-Spanish mothers is greater than for Spanish (3.99 and 2.51 per 1000, respectively), and both groups approached the 3-4 x 1000 range reported for some European and North American countries (Woods 2008).…”

“…Estos factores de riesgo se traducen en resultados adversos para la salud de los niños migrantes internacionales. De acuerdo a lo reportado en la literatura internacional, niños nacidos de madres con antecedentes de inmigración tienen una mayor incidencia de muerte fetal, muerte neonatal, parto prematuro y bajo peso al nacer 8,9,10,11 . El estado de salud física de los niños migrantes después del nacimiento se ha estudiado con menos rigor, pero hay indicios de mayor prevalencia de caries dentales, algunas enfermedades infecciosas 10,12 y obesidad 13 .…”
