Predictors of multiple births and infant deaths in Alberta

Description

Records of multiple births and infant deaths in the province of Alberta between 1997 and 2004 were analyzed. Multiple births are at increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Infant death is among the most devastating possible events in the lifetime of a family. Close scrutiny of factors related to infant death may help discern strategies to prevent some deaths. Associations between a number of maternal and infant indicators and these two outcomes were considered. The goal was to understand the differing influences of the maternal and infant indicators, with a particular emphasis on potentially modifiable factors.
