Modeling the pediatric paradox
The "pediatric paradox" of African versus European American infant mortality is often observed with respect to birth weight, but rarely to gestational age, even though the two measures are biologically related. This paper models the pediatric paradox by birth weight and gestational age simultaneously, using Covariate Density Defined mixture of logistic regressions (CDDmlr) fitted to 1985-1988 New York State births. The model controls for unobserv…
Multiple mortality optima due to heterogeneity in the birth cohort
Birth weight and gestational age are both important predictors of infant survival. Covariate Density Defined mixture of logistic regressions (CDDmlr), a method that accounts for unobserved heterogeneity, has been applied to birth outcomes using birth weight alone. This paper investigates a CDDmlr model of birth outcomes that includes birth weight and gestational age. Applications to four birth cohorts, composed of all non‐Hispanic singleton Afric…
A Comparative Analysis of Effects of Early Versus Late Prenatal WIC Participation on Birth Weight
Pediatric Paradox
Comparisons of birth-weight-specific infant mortality indicate that low-birth-weight African American infants have lower mortality than low-birth-weight European American infants despite higher infant mortality overall-the "pediatric paradox." One explanation is heterogeneity in birth weight. Analyses of African American and European American births suggest that birth cohorts consist of two heterogeneous subpopulations. One appears to account for…
