| Title |
Stillbirth in an Anglophone Minority of Canada
|
| Abstract |
The authors assessed trends in stillbirth over time for Quebec Francophones and Anglophones. They calculated stillbirth rates for Francophones and Anglophones, and estimated hazard ratios (HR) by decade from 1981 to 2010, adjusting for maternal characteristics. They also analyzed temporal trends by gestational interval and cause of fetal death. Their research found that stillbirth rates decreased in Quebec during the three decades, due to improved rates in Francophones. Rates decreased for Anglophones in 1991–2000, but increased in 2001–2010 at term, during the second trimester, and for most causes of fetal death. In the 2000s, the hazard of stillbirth for Anglophones was nearly the same as the hazard for Francophones in the 1980s (HR 0.93, 95 % confidence interval 0.82, 1.05). The authors conclude that stillbirth rates declined in both Francophones and Anglophones before the turn of the century, but increased thereafter for Anglophones, suggesting that linguistic inequalities in stillbirth may be emerging in Quebec.
