  • Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Maternal Mortality in the United States Using Enhanced Vital Records, 2016‒2017

    Marian F MacDorman, Marie Thoma et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2021Cited by: 20References: 20

    Objectives. To better understand racial and ethnic disparities in US maternal mortality. Methods. We analyzed 2016–2017 vital statistics mortality data with cause-of-death literals (actual words written on the death certificate) added. We created a subset of confirmed maternal deaths that had pregnancy mentions in the cause-of-death literals. Primary cause of death was identified and recoded using cause-of-death literals. We examined racial and e…

  • American Indian and Alaska Native Infant and Pediatric Mortality, United States, 1999–2009

    Charlene A Wong, Francine C Gachupin et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2014Cited by: 7References: 40

    Objectives. We described American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) infant and pediatric death rates and leading causes of death. Methods. We adjusted National Vital Statistics System mortality data for AI/AN racial misclassification by linkage with Indian Health Service (IHS) registration records. We determined average annual death rates and leading causes of death for 1999 to 2009 for AI/AN versus White infants and children. We limited the analysis …

  • Obstetrical Intervention and the Singleton Preterm Birth Rate in the United States From 1991–2006

    Marian F MacDorman, Eugene Declercq et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2010Cited by: 5References: 40

    Objectives. We examined the relationship between obstetrical intervention and preterm birth in the United States between 1991 and 2006. Methods. We assessed changes in preterm birth, cesarean delivery, labor induction, and associated risks. Logistic regression modeled the odds of preterm obstetrical intervention after risk adjustment. Results. From 1991 to 2006, the percentage of singleton preterm births increased 13%. The cesarean delivery rate …

  • The Contribution of Preterm Birth to Infant Mortality Rates in the United States

    William M Callaghan, Marian F MacDorman et al.ARTICLEPEDIATRICS2006

    OBJECTIVE. Although two thirds of infant deaths in the United States occur among infants born preterm (<37 weeks of gestation), only 17% of infant deaths are classified as being attributable to preterm birth with the standard classification of leading causes of death. To address this apparent discrepancy, we sought to estimate more accurately the contribution of preterm birth to infant mortality rates in the United States. METHODS. We identified …

  • Maternal Risk Profiles and the Primary Cesarean Rate in the United States, 1991–2002

    Eugene Declercq, Fay Menacker et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2006Cited by: 7References: 24

    Objectives. We examined factors contributing to shifts in primary cesarean rates in the United States between 1991 and 2002. Methods. US national birth certificate data were used to assess changes in primary cesarean rates stratified according to maternal age, parity, and race/ethnicity. Trends in the occurrence of medical risk factors or complications of labor or delivery listed on birth certificates and the corresponding primary cesarean rates …

  • Midwifery care, social and medical risk factors, and birth outcomes in the USA

    Marian F MacDorman, Gopal K SinghARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1998Cited by: 8References: 25

    STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine if there are significant differences in birth outcomes and survival for infants delivered by certified nurse midwives compared with those delivered by physicians, and whether these differences, if they exist, remain after controlling for sociodemographic and medical risk factors. DESIGN: Logistic regression models were used to examine differences between certified nurse midwife and physician delivered births in infan…
