Rates of severe perineal tears and episiotomies are indicators obstetrical quality care, but their use for international comparisons is complicated by difficulties with accurate ascertainment uncertainties regarding the optimal rate episiotomies. We compared rates in European countries analysed association between these two indicators.We used aggregate data from national routine statistics available Euro-Peristat project. (third- fourth-degree) 2010 mode vaginal delivery (n = 20 countries),...
ABSTRACT Background International comparisons of population birth data provide essential benchmarks for evaluating perinatal health policies. Objectives This study aimed to describe routine national sources in Europe by their ability core indicators. Methods The Euro‐Peristat Network collected on a recommended set indicators from 2015 2021 using federated protocol based common model with 16 items. Data providers completed an online questionnaire the used each country. We classified countries...
Objective Children with Down syndrome (DS) have delayed psychomotor development. We investigated levels of development, problem behavior, and Health-Related Quality Life (HRQoL) in a population sample Dutch eight-year-old children DS. Developmental outcomes were compared normative data from the general population. Method Over three-year-period all parents an child DS approached by national parent organization. skills assessed means McCarthy Scales Children's Ability. To measure emotional...
Abstract Stillbirth rates have stalled or increased in some European countries during the last decade. We investigate to what extent time-trends and between-country differences stillbirth are explained by changing prevalence of advanced maternal age teenage pregnancies multiple births. analysed data on stillbirths live births multiplicity from 2010 2021 25 using Kitagawa decomposition separate rate into compositional components. Rates significantly decreased six countries, but two. Changes...
Background The first European Perinatal Health Report showed wide variability between countries in fetal (2.6–9.1‰) and neonatal (1.6–5.7‰) mortality rates 2004. We investigated gestational age patterns of to improve our understanding the differences with low high mortality. Methodology/Principal Findings Data on 29 countries/regions participating Euro-Peristat project were analyzed. Most had no limits for registration live births, but substantial variations stillbirths before 28 weeks...
Stillbirth and neonatal mortality rates declined in Europe between 2004 2010. We hypothesised that declines might be greater for countries with higher disproportionally affect very preterm infants at highest risk.
Data about deliveries, births, mothers and newborn babies are collected extensively to monitor the health care of during pregnancy, delivery post-partum period, but there is no common approach in Europe. We analysed problems related using European data for international comparisons perinatal health. made an inventory relevant sources 25 Union (EU) member states Norway, a previously defined indicator list. The main were civil registration based on birth death certificates, medical registers,...
Background Fetal and neonatal mortality rates are essential indicators of population health, but variations in recording births deaths at the limits viability compromises international comparisons. The World Health Organization recommends comparing after exclusion with a birth weight less than 1000 grams, many analyses perinatal outcomes based on gestational age. We compared effects using 1000-gram or 28-week age threshold reported fetal Europe. Methods Aggregated data from 2004 tabulated by...
Previous studies have shown that socioeconomic position is inversely associated with stillbirth risk, but the impact on national rates in Europe not known. We aimed to assess magnitude of social inequalities European countries using indicators generated from routine monitoring systems. Aggregated data number stillbirths and live births for year 2010 were collected three (mothers' educational level, mothers' fathers' occupational group) 29 participating Euro-Peristat project. Educational...
While international variations in overall cesarean delivery rates are well documented, less information is available for clinical sub-groups. Cesarean data presented by subgroups can be used to evaluate uptake of reduction policies or monitor practices high and low risk pregnancies based on new scientific evidence. We studied differences patterns multiplicity gestational age Europe the United States. This study routine aggregate from 17 European countries States number singleton multiple...
Abstract Background Despite concerns about worsening pregnancy outcomes resulting from healthcare restrictions, economic difficulties and increased stress during the COVID-19 pandemic, preterm birth (PTB) rates declined in some countries 2020, while stillbirth appeared stable. Like other shocks, pandemic may have exacerbated existing socioeconomic disparities pregnancy, but this remains to be established. Our objective was investigate changes PTB by status (SES) European countries. Methods...
Abstract Background The Apgar score has been shown to be predictive of neonatal mortality in clinical and population studies, but not used for international comparisons. We examined population‐level distributions scores associations with Europe. Methods Aggregate data on the 5 minute live births rates from countries participating Euro‐Peristat project 2004 2010 were analysed. Country level between assessed using Spearman rank correlation coefficient. Results Twenty‐three or regions provided...
Few studies have investigated international variations in the gestational age (GA) distribution of births. While preterm births (22-36 weeks GA) and early term (37-38 weeks) are at greater risk adverse health outcomes compared to full (39-40 weeks), it is not known if countries with high birth rates also rates. We examined rate associations between mean GA by mode delivery onset.We used routine aggregate data on singleton live from up 34 high-income countries/regions 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008...
Abstract Background Prenatal depression may have adverse health effects on mothers and their offspring. Perceived stress is an important risk factor for during pregnancy. Studies shown that both perceived negatively influence birth outcomes. While 20% of pregnancies in Suriname, a middle-income Caribbean country located northern South America, results outcomes, data prenatal its factors are lacking. This study aimed to assess the pregnancy Surinamese women. Methods Survey were used from 1143...
Stillbirth is a major public health problem, but measurement remains challenge even in high-income countries. We compared routine stillbirth statistics Europe reported by Eurostat with data from the Euro-Peristat research network.We used on stillbirths 2015 both sources for 31 European rates per 1000 total births were analyzed gestational age (GA) and birthweight groups. Information termination of pregnancy at ≥22 weeks' GA was separately.Routinely collected higher than those network. For...
