VARIATION IN CLASSIFICATION OF LIVE BIRTH WITH NEWBORN PERIOD DEATH VERSUS FETAL DEATH AT THE LOCAL LEVEL MAY IMPACT REPORTED INFANT MORTALITY RATE

To better understand factors that may impact infant mortality rates (IMR), we evaluated the consistency across birth hospitals in the classification of a birth event as either a fetal death or an early neonatal (infant) death using natality data from North Carolina for the years 1995–2000.

Hypothermia
Hypothermia was considered an important component of CPB for many years in order to decrease systemic and vital organ oxygen consumption and minimize organ damage. Animal studies initially demonstrated safety in the parturient, because the fe[r]

Infant birth weight, which is classified into low birth weight, normal birth weight and macrosomia, is associated with short and long-term health consequences, such as neonatal mortality and chronic disease in life.

Individuals who live in rural areas are at greater risk for brain cancer, and pesticide exposure may contribute to this increased risk. The aims of this research were to analyze the mortality trends and to estimate the age-period-cohort effects on mortality rates from brain cancer in two regions in[r]

Cause of deaths reflects the burden of diseases in the community and is important information for evidence-based health policy. Objectives of the study were to determine mortality rates and cause of death pattern in Thai Nguyen and Quang Ninh.

The fetal and infant life are periods of rapid development, characterized by high susceptibility to exposures. Birth cohorts provide unique opportunities to study early-life exposures in association with child development and health, as well as, with longer follow-up, the early life origin of adult[r]

One of the tragedies that confront the pregnant woman and physician providing obstetric care is the occurrence of fetal death. It is reported that toxoplasmosis, one among protozoal infections have a high incidence in pregnancy, sometimes causing fetal death. Toxoplasmosis is caused by a coccidian p[r]

Lung cancer is the most prevalent malignancy and the leading death caused by cancer worldwide. It is also the most common cancer in Vietnam. With the high prevalence and high mortality rate, lung cancer is the real burden of healthcare today. NSCLC accounts for about 85-90% of lung cancer.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide and a leading cause of cancer related death. Although the mortality rate of CRC is decreasing, finding novel targets for its therapy remains urgent. Carboxypeptidase E (CPE), a member of the pro-protein convertases, which are involv[r]

Reported birth prevalences of congenital limb defects (CLD) vary between countries: From 13/10,000 in Finland for the period 1964–1977 to 30.4/10,000 births in Scotland from 1964–1968. Epidemiological studies permit the timely detection of trends in CLD and of associations with other birth defects.

Early discharge of very low birth weight infant (VLBW) in low resource settings is inevitable but to minimize mortality of these infants after discharge we need to identify the death attributes.

We must acknowledge some limitations of our study. This is a multicentre study of patients with prostate cancer undergoing radical retropubic prostatectomy with a limited population of Caucasian men with no Africans or Hispanics; so far, our results cannot b[r]

All the included studies were conducted from dif- ferent regions of Ethiopia (Amhara, Oromia, SNNPR (South Nation Nationalities people and representa- tives), Tigray, Somali and Addis Ababa. Finally, this systematic review and meta-analysis consist of seven- teen articles: fourt[r]

Surgical site infection(SSI) is among the most common causes of nosocomial infections in the literature. SSI increases the financial burden, length of hospital stays and significant morbidity and mortality of the patient. These infections have a tremendous impact on morbidity and mortality as SSIs d[r]

Simply put, a DALY is the sum of years of life lost by a patient due to premature death, as well as the years a patient lived with a disability resulting from a disease. The use of DALYs is not without criticism – the disability weight[r]

Infancy is a critical period in the life of every individual owing to the various adjustments that need to be made for extra uterine survival. Therefore, mortality rates are also very high in this one year period. Good care practices go a long way in reducing morbidity and mortality in this period.[r]

High-risk patients in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) contribute substantially to PICU-mortality. Complex chronic conditions (CCCs) are associated with death. However, it is unknown whether CCCs also increase mortality in the high-risk PICU-patient.
