Trends and disparities in breastfeeding initiation in France between 2010 and 2016
Breastfeeding (BF) initiation rates in French maternity units are among the lowest in Europe. After increasing for several years, they decreased between 2010 and 2016, although several maternal characteristics known to be positively associated with BF in France were more frequent. We aimed to (1) quantify adjusted trends in BF initiation rates between 2010 and 2016; (2) examine associations between BF initiation rates and newborn, maternal, mater…
The impact of neonatal unit policies on breast milk feeding at discharge of moderate preterm infants
Facilitating factors and barriers to breast milk feeding (BMF) for preterm infants have been mainly studied in very preterm populations, but little is known about moderate preterm infants. We aimed to analyze hospital unit characteristics and BMF policies associated with BMF at discharge for infants born at 32 to 34 weeks' gestation. EPIPAGE-2, a French national cohort of preterm births, included 883 infants born at 32 to 34 weeks' gestation. We …

Low breastfeeding continuation to 6 months for very preterm infants
Breastfeeding confers multiple benefits for the health and development of very preterm infants, but there is scarce information on the duration of breastfeeding after discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). We used data from the Effective Perinatal Intensive Care in Europe population-based cohort of births below 32 weeks of gestation in 11 European countries in 2011-2012 to investigate breastfeeding continuation until 6 months. Cl…
Very low prevalence of iron deficiency among young French children
Although iron deficiency (ID) is considered the most frequent micronutrient deficiency in industrialized countries and is associated with impaired neurodevelopment when occurring in early years, accurate recent estimations of its prevalence are lacking. Our objective was to estimate ID prevalence and associated sociodemographic markers in young children in France. The Saturn-Inf national cross-sectional hospital-based survey recruited 3,831 Frenc…
Travel Time to Hospital for Childbirth
First nationwide web-based surveillance system for influenza-like illness in pregnant women
Despite small sample size and lack of representativeness, the retention rate was high, suggesting that pregnant women are prone to adhere to a longitudinal follow-up of their health status via the Internet
Who are the Women Who Work in Their Last Month of Pregnancy? Social and Occupational Characteristics and Birth Outcomes of Women Working Until the Last Month of Pregnancy in France
Declines in stillbirth and neonatal mortality rates in Europe between 2004 and 2010
BACKGROUND: Stillbirth and neonatal mortality rates declined in Europe between 2004 and 2010. We hypothesised that declines might be greater for countries with higher mortality in 2004 and disproportionally affect very preterm infants at highest risk. METHODS: Data about live births, stillbirths and neonatal deaths by gestational age (GA) were collected using a common protocol by the Euro-Peristat project in 2004 and 2010. We analysed stillbirths…

Breastfeeding Duration, Social and Occupational Characteristics of Mothers in the French ‘Eden Mother–Child’ Cohort
Une géographie de l'offre de soins en restructuration
En France, l'organisation des services de santé périnatale subit actuellement de profondes mutations en raison de la restructuration de l'offre de soins et notamment en raison de la fermeture des petites ou moyennes maternités. Au-delà des polémiques suscitées lors de la suppression d'un établissement, ces restructurations ont-elles des répercussions sur l'accessibilité aux maternités pour les parturientes ? À la suite des fermetures successives …
Out-of-hospital births and the supply of maternity units in France
Evaluating regional differences in breast-feeding in French maternity units
Objectives To study how individual and regional characteristics might explain regional variations in breast-feeding rates in maternity units and to identify outlier regions with very low or high breast-feeding rates. Design Individual characteristics (mother and infant) were collected during hospital stay. All newborns fed entirely or partly on breast milk were considered breast-fed. Regional characteristics were extracted from census data. Stati…
International migration and adverse birth outcomes
BACKGROUND: The literature on international migration and birth outcomes shows mixed results. This study examined whether low birth weight (LBW) and preterm birth differed between non-migrants and migrant subgroups, defined by race/ethnicity and world region of origin and destination. METHODS: A systematic review and meta-regression analyses were conducted using three-level logistic models to account for the heterogeneity between studies and betw…
Distribution of maternity units and spatial access to specialised care for women delivering before 32 weeks of gestation in Europe
Impact of maternity unit closures on access to obstetrical care
Advances in Medical Technology and Creation of Disparities
Objectives. We assessed socioeconomic differences in probabilities of prena-tal diagnoses of Down syndrome and continuation of pregnancies after such diagnoses, along with the effects of these differences on disparities in live-birth prevalences of Down syndrome. Methods. Using population-based data derived from 1433 cases of Down syndrome and 3731 control births, we assessed age-adjusted effects of maternal occupation and geographic origin on pr…
Socioeconomic Barriers to Informed Decisionmaking Regarding Maternal Serum Screening for Down Syndrome
Objectives. We sought to evaluate socioeconomic disparities in serum screening for Down syndrome and assess whether such disparities are more likely to reflect limits in access or information or, rather, informed decisionmaking. Methods. A nationally representative sample of 12 869 French women completed interviews after giving birth. Results. We found substantial disparities in the likelihood of (1) women not being offered screening, (2) screeni…
The Impact of the Increasing Number of Multiple Births on the Rates of Preterm Birth and Low Birthweight
Objectives. We studied the effects of twins and triplets on perinatal health indicators in the overall population in the 1980s and 1990s in Canada, England and Wales, France, and the United States. Methods. Data were derived mostly from live birth registration. We used rates, relative risks, and population attributable risks for twins and triplets separately. Results. In each country, the increase in multiple births, and the increase in preterm d…
A New and Improved Population-Based Canadian Reference for Birth Weight for Gestational Age
BACKGROUND: Existing fetal growth references all suffer from 1 or more major methodologic problems, including errors in reported gestational age, biologically implausible birth weight for gestational age, insufficient sample sizes at low gestational age, single-hospital or other non-population-based samples, and inadequate statistical modeling techniques. METHODS: We used the newly developed Canadian national linked file of singleton births and i…

Birth Outcomes of Immigrant Women in the United States, France, and Belgium
International infant mortality rates
International infant mortality statistics have caused concern in the United States, since the US ranking relative to other developed countries has declined since World War II. This paper suggests that there may be international differences in reporting of very-low-birthweight infants and perinatal deaths and that such reporting differences bias comparisons of national perinatal and infant mortality rates. Efforts must be made to adopt standard co…
An indicator of adverse pregnancy outcome in France
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to compare the social characteristics, the pregnancy outcome, and the antenatal care of women in France who did not receive maternity benefits to women who did. These benefits (860 FF, approx 86 pounds per month) are given to every pregnant woman, starting in the second trimester. Payments are made on the condition that at least three antenatal visits are made, the first being before the end of the first trimester. DE…

Antenatal care and maternal demographic and social characteristics. Evolution in France between 1972 and 1976
A study was carried out on representative samples of 11 254 births in France in 1972 and 4685 births in 1976. Women were interviewed after delivery to obtain information about the medical care they had received during pregnancy. Inadequate antenatal care was defined as: first antenatal visit after the first trimester of pregnancy, or total number of visits fewer than the required minimum, or no visit to an obstetrician or the hospital maternity t…

Contribution of specialists to antenatal care in France
This study was based on a survey of a national sample of births in France in 1981 which included 5508 women. Four pathways of antenatal care were defined according to the stage of pregnancy at first intervention of a specialist, as opposed to a general practitioner, in the care of the pregnancy. Taking into account the sociodemographic and medical characteristics of the women in a logistic regression, a large number of antenatal visits, an ultras…
Impact of the French system of statutory visits on antenatal care
A survey of a representative sample of births in France in 1976 showed that the great majority of women receive at least the minimum antenatal care laid down by law: 4% of women missed one of the three statutory visits linked to payment of the antenatal allowance and 6% missed the fourth visit that should take place in the ninth month. A smaller study conducted in two hospitals, one in the Paris region and the other in Nord-Pas-de-Calais, showed …
