    This study found higher rates of perinatal deaths and congenital abnormalities in Indian and Pakistani mothers. These findings highlight ethnic disparities in adverse pregnancy outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Perinatal health
    • Maternal-fetal medicine
    • Public health epidemiology

    Background:

    • Ethnic disparities in perinatal outcomes are a significant public health concern.
    • Understanding variations in congenital malformations across ethnic groups is crucial for targeted interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between maternal ethnicity and the incidence of perinatal deaths and congenital malformations.
    • To identify specific ethnic groups with elevated risks for adverse perinatal outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of hospital records from 1979-1982.
    • Inclusion of 15,438 mothers, categorizing outcomes by maternal ethnicity.
    • Calculation of crude perinatal mortality rates and congenital abnormality incidence per ethnic group.

    Main Results:

    • Indian and Pakistani ethnic groups exhibited the highest crude perinatal mortality rates (18.3/1000 and 24.1/1000, respectively).
    • These same groups also showed the highest incidence of congenital abnormalities (13.3/1000 and 12.8/1000, respectively).
    • Significant variation in the types of malformations was observed within these high-risk ethnic groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Maternal ethnicity is associated with significant variations in perinatal mortality and congenital malformation rates.
    • Indian and Pakistani populations in this cohort experienced disproportionately higher adverse perinatal outcomes.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the underlying causes and develop culturally sensitive prevention strategies.
