Social inequalities in access to care at birth and neonatal mortality: an observational study.
Morgane MichelCorinne AlbertiJean-Claude CarelKarine ChevreulPublished in: Archives of disease in childhood. Fetal and neonatal edition (2021)
Newborns with the lowest SES were less likely to be born in level III maternity hospitals compared with those with the highest SES, despite having higher prematurity rates. This was associated with a significantly higher mortality in newborns with the lowest SES. Strategies must be developed to increase health equity among mothers and newborns.
