University of Leicester team finds more stillbirths in deprived areas

University of Leicester team finds more stillbirths in deprived areas Research suggests there are higher rates of stillbirth and neonatal death for those living in deprived areas and minority ethnic groups.

A report from a team at the University of Leicester shows that while overall stillbirth and neonatal mortality rates have reduced, inequalities persist.

MBRRACE-UK, the team that carried out the research, said it had looked at outcomes for specific ethnic groups.

The group said it hoped the work would help target support and intervention. BBC News
