We assess the extent to which differences in socio-economic status are associated with racial and ethnic gaps in a fundamental measure of population health: the rate at which infants die. Using micro-level Vital Statistics data from 2000 to 2004, we examine mortality gaps of infants born to white, black, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Asian, and Native American mothers. We find that between-group morta...

The longterm historical decline in infant mortality has been accompanied by increasing concentration of infant deaths at the earliest stages of infancy. The influence of prenatal and neonatal conditions has become increasingly dominant relative to postnatal conditions as external causes of death such as infectious disease have been diminished. In the mid-1960s Coale and Demeny developed formula...

The rate of infant mortality (IMR) in a population under one year age is marker for mortality. It major sensitive community’s overall physical health. Protecting the lives newborns has become challenging issue public health, development programs, and humanitarian initiatives. Almost 10.1% infants died United States America (USA) 2021.

BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction (MI) can directly cause ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR), which has been touted as an indicator of poor prognosis in acute and early phases after MI. However, in the chronic post-MI phase, prognostic implications of IMR presence and degree are poorly defined. METHODS AND RESULTS We analyzed 303 patients with previous (>16 days) Q-wave MI by ECG who underwen...

The World Health Report (WHR) 2006 launched the Health Workforce Decade (2006-2015), with high priority given for countries to develop effective workforce policies and strategies. In many countries in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR), particularly those classified as Low and ...

While the linkage between economic conditions and health indicators is largely discussed previously, much less known about how income inequality affects infant mortality rates (IMR) in Turkey. Using a city-level data from 2014 to 2019 estimates impact of socio-economic factors on rates. To identify what are associated with IMRs, ordered probit, random effect, fixed effect approaches used. An en...
