Variation in classification of live birth with newborn period death versus fetal death at the local level may impact reported infant mortality rate

@DemocratFed @NBCNews @NBCNewsHealth Yes, it does. Coupled w/lack of affordable prenatal HC it accounts for a higher IMR Babies born before 24 weeks in other countries are not counted as live births. The US counts them as live births. How a country rep

@AStratelates @ClarkHat I don't think that's true. Live birth is a WHO defined term Also big variation in US states re live birth https://t.co/81D3MCMEl0
