    Maternal leatherworkers faced higher risks of perinatal death, especially from congenital malformations and macerated stillbirths. Further research into industry materials is recommended to minimize risks for pregnant women.

    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health
    • Perinatal Epidemiology
    • Environmental Health

    Background:

    • Perinatal mortality remains a significant public health concern.
    • Identifying occupational risk factors is crucial for targeted interventions.
    • Previous studies have explored various maternal occupations and their links to adverse pregnancy outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the causes of perinatal death in Leicestershire between 1976 and 1982.
    • To identify potential occupational risks associated with perinatal mortality.
    • To specifically examine the role of maternal occupation in congenital malformations and macerated stillbirths.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study design.
    • Review of over 1000 case notes of perinatal deaths.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Interviews with mothers of affected infants.
  • Analysis of maternal occupations and their correlation with perinatal death outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • Leatherworkers exhibited an increased risk of perinatal death compared to other manual workers.
    • This elevated risk was particularly associated with congenital malformations and macerated stillbirths.
    • The increased risk was observed across all towns in the county where leatherwork was prevalent.

    Conclusions:

    • Maternal occupation in the leather industry is a potential risk factor for perinatal death.
    • Further investigation into materials used in leather production is warranted.
    • Pregnant women in the leather industry should be informed of potential residual risks pending confirmation.
