1 The Perinatal Periods of Risk Approach Sanil Thomas MS Biostatistics candidate April 27, 2010

2 Introduction Infant mortality rate (IMR) is a critical indicator of nation’s health IMR remains higher in United States than in other industrialized countries But IMR does not provide sufficient information to understand the factors that contribute to infant mortality

3 Introduction Traditional methods don’t include the fetal death counts for the analysis of mortality rates Fetal-infant mortality is a multi dimensional issue and a detailed analytical approach to fetal- infant mortality is needed to focus community initiatives for improving maternal and infant health.

4 Objectives To look at Feto-Infant mortality in a new way Apply PPOR framework for New York State To see the distribution of common risk factors by county level

5 Perinatal Periods of Risk (PPOR) Approach The Perinatal Periods of Risk Approach was developed by Dr. Brian McCarthy from the W.H.O. Perinatal Collaborative Center at CDC and other W.H.O. colleagues. Simple method that is based on a strong conceptual prevention The PPOR Data allow you to look at feto-infant mortality in new ways

6 PPOR : 6 Basic Steps Step 1: Assure Analytic and Community Readiness Step 2: Conduct Analytic Phases of PPOR Step 3: Develop Strategic Actions for Targeted Prevention Step 4: Strengthen Existing and/or Launch New Prevention Initiatives Step 5: Monitor and Evaluate Approach Step 6: Sustain Stakeholder Investment and Political Will

7 Analytic Phases of PPOR Phase 1: Identifies populations and periods of risk with the largest excess mortality. Phase 2: Explains why the excess deaths occurred.

8 PPOR Examines Deaths in TWO dimensions simultaneously: Age at death Weight at birth

9 Conception Birth 1 Year Fetal Infancy 20 wks28 wks 4 wks Spontaneous Abortion Early Fetal Late Fetal Neonatal Postneonatal Infant Feto-Infant Age at Death The First Dimension Of PPOR Analysis :

10 Second Dimension: Birthweight Very Low Birthweight (PPOR limit) = less than 1500 grams (3.3 pounds) Low Birthweight = less than 2500 grams (5.5 pounds) Normal Birthweight e.g., a 7.5-pound baby weighs 3,400 grams Birthweight

11 PPOR “Map” fetal & infant deaths Age at Death Birthweight 500-1499 g 1500+ g Fetal (24+ wks) NeonatalPostneonatal 123 546

12 PPOR “Map” fetal & infant deaths 500-1499 g 1500+ g Fetal Death Neonatal Post- neonatal Maternal Health/ Prematurity Maternal Care Newborn Care Infant Health Birthweight Age at Death

13 PPOR is about ACTION (each period of risk is associated with a set of possible areas for action) Maternal Health/ Prematurity Maternal Care Newborn Care Infant Health Preconception Health Health Behaviors Perinatal Care Prenatal Care High Risk Referral Obstetric Care Perinatal Management Neonatal Care Pediatric Surgery Sleep Position Breast Feeding Injury Prevention

14 PPOR: Phase 2 Poisson log linear modeling Covariates/Fixed effects a.Mother’s race b.Mother’s education c.Mother’s age d.Payor Random effect - County

15 PPOR: Phase 2 Fetal death was not used 2004-2007 Predicted death counts were used to obtain smoothed death rates Modeling done for each county  Relative risk calculated from the beta estimates

16 Data New York State Dept. of Health. a.Electronic records of births b.Linked birth-death cohort c.selected fetal deaths  Phase 1 : 2003-2007  Phase 2 : 2004-2007
