    Foetal-infant mortality trends in low-mortality nations are linked to reproductive technology advancements and persistent social inequalities. Monitoring birth weight and parental social factors is crucial for understanding these complex health dynamics.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Perinatology
    • Sociomedical Sciences

    Background:

    • Foetal-infant mortality in very low overall mortality rate countries requires nuanced health-based analysis.
    • Technological advancements in reproductive health impact infant survival and delivery types.
    • Persistent and potentially widening social inequalities may influence future mortality trends.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze foetal-infant mortality tendencies in countries with very low mortality rates.
    • To examine the influence of reproductive technology on infant survival and multiple births.
    • To assess the role of social inequalities in foetal-infant mortality patterns.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing vital statistics to develop indicators such as low birth weight incidence and differential risks.

  • Analyzing specific risks associated with birth weight.
  • Comparing risks based on parental social characteristics across European countries and Canada.

    • Main Results:

    • Increased survival rates for very low birth weight infants due to technological advancements.
    • A rise in multiple deliveries in some countries, linked to reproductive technologies.
    • Anticipation that overall mortality rates may not have peaked due to ongoing social inequalities.

    Conclusions:

    • Reproductive technology positively impacts survival of premature infants but may increase multiple births.
    • Social inequalities remain a critical factor influencing foetal-infant mortality, suggesting rates may not yet have plateaued.
    • Vital statistics provide essential tools for monitoring and comparing these health phenomena across nations.
