    Perinatal mortality rates were similar for foreign and German newborns. However, private patients experienced significantly lower mortality, likely due to fewer premature births and better prenatal care.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Public Health
    • Neonatal Medicine

    Context:

    • Analysis of perinatal mortality data from 1970-1972 at the I. Frauenklinik der Universität München.
    • Inclusion of 5595 newborns, with 54 deaths among foreign worker ('Gastarbeiter') families.
    • Utilized computer analysis and Chi-square testing for statistical significance.

    Purpose:

    • To compare perinatal mortality rates between foreign and German patients.
    • To investigate disparities in perinatal outcomes among different patient groups.
    • To identify factors contributing to observed differences in mortality.

    Summary:

    • No significant difference in perinatal mortality was found between foreign and German ward patients.
    • Private patients exhibited a significantly lower perinatal mortality rate compared to ward patients.

  • This disparity is attributed to a lower incidence of premature births in the private patient group, potentially linked to socioeconomic status and enhanced prenatal care.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the influence of socioeconomic factors and prenatal care access on perinatal outcomes.
    • Suggests potential areas for public health interventions to reduce perinatal mortality disparities.
    • Provides historical data on perinatal mortality trends and patient demographics.
