- W1970618017 abstract "<h3>Abstract</h3> <b>Objectives:</b> To study reproductive pattern and perinatal mortality in rural Tamil Nadu, South India. <b>Design:</b> Community based, cross sectional questionnaire study of 30 randomly selected areas served by health subcentres. <b>Setting:</b> Rural parts of Salem District, Tamil Nadu, South India. <b>Subjects:</b> 1321 women and their offspring delivered in the 6 months before the interview. <b>Main outcome measures:</b> Number of pregnancies, pregnancy outcome, spacing of pregnancies, sex of offspring, perinatal and neonatal mortality rates. <b>Results:</b> 41% of the women (535) were primiparous; 7 women (0.5%) were grand multiparous (>6 births). The women had a mean age of 22 years and a mean of 2.3 pregnancies and 1.8 live children. The sex ratio at birth of the index children was 107 boys per 100 girls. The stillbirth rate was 13.5/1000 births, the neonatal mortality rate was 35.3/1000, and the perinatal mortality rate was 42.0/1000. Girls had an excess neonatal mortality (rate ratio 3.42; 95% confidence interval 1.68 to 6.98; this was most pronounced among girls born to multiparous women with no living sons (rate ratio 15.48 (2.04 to 177.73) <i>v</i> 1.87 (0.63 to 5.58) in multiparous women with at least one son alive). <b>Conclusions:</b> In this rural part of Tamil Nadu, women had a controlled reproductive pattern. The excess neonatal mortality among girls constitutes about one third of the perinatal mortality rate. It seems to be linked to a preference for sons and should therefore be addressed through a holistic societal approach rather than through specific healthcare measures. <h3>Key messages</h3> In this area of Tamil Nadu, women have a controlled reproductive pattern, with an average of 2.3 pregnancies and 1.8 living children; the average age at the birth of the first child is 20 The sex ratio at birth is 107 boys to 100 girls Girls have a substantial excess neonatal mortality, which is most pronounced among girls born to multiparous women with no living sons This excess neonatal mortality among girls seems to be linked to a preference for sons and must be addressed through a holistic societal approach" @default.
