To determine the difference in pregnancy outcome between native Indians and the provincial population in Saskatchewan.
Retrospective analysis of data collected from all birth and death registration forms.
Saskatchewan.
Incidence of low birth weight and rates of stillbirth and of neonatal and infant death.
The neonatal death rate was higher in the Indian population than in the provincial population during the study period; the difference between the two groups in the rate decreased markedly after 1982. The rates of stillbirth and infant death were also higher among the Indians, and the difference persisted during the study period. The incidence of low birth weight and the rate of stillbirth were highest in the youngest and oldest maternal groups in the provincial population; however, the pattern was markedly different among the Indians, teenaged mothers having the best outcomes.
Further studies are needed to determine the relation between maternal age and fetal outcome among native Indians.
确定萨斯喀彻温省本地印第安人与该省其他人口在妊娠结局上的差异。
对从所有出生和死亡登记表格收集的数据进行回顾性分析。
萨斯喀彻温省。
低出生体重发生率、死产率以及新生儿和婴儿死亡率。
在研究期间,印第安人群的新生儿死亡率高于该省其他人口;1982年后两组在该比率上的差异显著减小。印第安人的死产率和婴儿死亡率也较高,且该差异在研究期间持续存在。该省人口中最年轻和最年长的孕产妇群体的低出生体重发生率和死产率最高;然而,印第安人群体的情况明显不同,青少年母亲的妊娠结局最佳。
需要进一步研究以确定本地印第安人孕产妇年龄与胎儿结局之间的关系。
