  • Race/Ethnicity/Nativity Differentials and Changes in Cause-Specific Infant Deaths in the Context of Declining Infant Mortality in the U.S

  • Paradox found (again)

    Open AccessR A Hummer, Daniel A Powers et al.ARTICLEDemography2007Cited by: 100References: 23

    Recent research suggests that the favorable mortality outcomes for the Mexican immigrant population in the United States may largely be attributable to selective out-migration among Mexican immigrants, resulting in artificially low recorded death rates for the Mexican-origin population. In this paper, we calculate detailed age-specific infant mortality rates by maternal race/ethnicity and nativity for two important reasons: (1) it is extremely un…

  • Race/Ethnic differences and age-variation in the effects of birth outcomes on infant mortality in the U.S

    Open AccessDaniel A Powers, W Parker Frisbie et al.ARTICLEDemographic Research2006Cited by: 2References: 48

    This paper investigates the effects of birth outcomes on infant mortality for non-Hispanic white, black, and Mexican-American females in the U.S. (1995-1998). Proportional hazard models with age-varying effects of continuous birth outcome measures rev

  • Demographic Models of Birth Outcomes and Infant Mortality

    Open AccessPatricio Solís, Starling G Pullum et al.ARTICLEDemography2000

    Most demographic studies use 2,500 grams of birth weight and 37 weeks of gestation as cutpoints for evaluating the effects of adverse birth outcomes on infant mortality. We propose an alternative strategy, which relies on continuous measures of birth outcomes, identifies an optimal combination of birth weight and gestational age for infant survival, and estimates the effects of adverse birth outcomes in terms of their departure from this "optimal…

  • Birth outcome, not pregnancy process

    Open AccessW Parker Frisbie, Douglas Forbes et al.ARTICLEDemography1998References: 24

    In a recent article (Frisbie. Forbes. and Pullum 1996) we documented racial/ethnic differences in birth outcomes according to a more fine-grained classification than has typically been employed in the demographic literature. In his commentary, van der Veen focuses on the measurement of one of the dimensions of that classification, maturity of the infant. as proxied by the fetal growth ratio. The crux of the critique is easily seen in van der Veen…

  • Racial and ethnic differences in determinants of intrauterine growth retardation and other compromised birth outcomes

    W Parker Frisbie, Monique Biegler et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1997Cited by: 12References: 36

    OBJECTIVES: This study examined the extent of variation by race/ethnicity in the prevalence of adverse birth outcomes, whether differentials persisted after other risk factors were controlled for, and whether the direction and magnitude of relationships differed by type of outcome. METHODS: A revised system of measurement was used to estimate multinomial logistic models in a large, nationally representative US data set. RESULTS: Considerable raci…

  • Compromised birth outcomes and infant mortality among racial and ethnic groups

    Open AccessW Parker Frisbie, Douglas Forbes et al.ARTICLEDemography1996Cited by: 21References: 30

    Research based on hospital records demonstrates that many births classified as normal according to conventional demographic measurement are intrauterine growth-retarded (IUGR) when evaluated clinically; also, in addition to birth weight and gestational age, it is necessary to focus on a third dimension, maturity, in analyses of birth outcomes. Although clinical studies allow more precise classification, the small number of cases tends to result i…
