“…This study also demonstrated that Japanese women born outside the USA have the lowest prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus with adjusted OR (0.74; 95%CI: 0.69-0.81) compared to non Hispanic white women born in the USA. This finding was confirmed by Rao et al 49 , suggesting that Japanese women do not modify their habits after immigration. On the other hand, the percentage of gestational diabetes mellitus among those born in the USA is well above the American average.…”

“…Previous study has shown that perinatal morbidity and outcome is heterogenous in different Asian sub-populations and our finding emphasizes the importance of looking at Asians by specific race when possible and relevant. 30 Our analysis was limited as the data set did not contain data on type of hospital or payer source. It is possible that there may be differences in care provided by public versus private hospitals as well as teaching hospitals.…”

Objective: To determine if there are differential cesarean delivery rates by race and other socio-demographic factors for women with breech infants.Study Design: We calculated cesarean delivery rates for 186 727 White, African American, Hispanic and Asian women delivering breech singletons with gestational age 26 to 41 weeks born in 1999 and 2000 using data from the National Center for Health Statistics. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine differences in mode of delivery by race, adjusting for socio-demographic and medical factors.Results: Cesarean rates for breech were >80% in most gestational age groups. In 14 of 18 groups, Whites had higher cesarean delivery rates than African Americans. However, this finding did not persist after risk adjustment. Hispanics were more likely to deliver by cesarean delivery than African Americans and Whites.Conclusion: Breech singleton infants are predominantly born by cesarean delivery. Although African-American women with breech presentation have lower cesarean delivery rates than Whites, this difference is not present after adjusting for socio-demographic and medical factors. Hispanics were more likely to be delivered by cesarean delivery and this difference was amplified after risk adjustment. Asians had slightly lower cesarean rates after risk adjustment, but this varied widely according to Asian subgroup.

“…It is well recognized that perinatal outcomes differ across different Asian subgroups. 8,9,13,14,16,18 For instance, neonatal mortality rates in the 1980s were lower in most Asian groups than in whites, except for Thai and Laotian infants, who exhibited increased neonatal mortality. 9 Among California births in the 1990s, Cambodian, Japanese, and Korean infants had lower neonatal mortality than white infants, whereas Thai infants experienced increased neonatal mortality.…”

“…Significant variability in maternal risk factors and perinatal outcomes has been reported among different subgroups of Asians. [12][13][14] For instance, Chinese and Japanese mothers have the highest educational attainment and the lowest infant mortality rates of all Asian subgroups, whereas Cambodian and Laotian mothers have lower educational attainment and higher infant mortality. 15,16 Whether the risk of CP varies among different Asian populations has not been studied.…”

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Asian Americans have a reduced risk of cerebral palsy (CP) compared with whites. Whether this is true for all Asian ethnic subgroups is unknown. Differences in sociodemographic factors may explain disparities in CP prevalence between Asians and whites.WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS: East Asian, Filipino, Indian, Pacific Islander, and Southeast Asian children were 13% to 38% less likely to have CP than white children. Differences in maternal age and education, gender, and birth weight did not explain these differences in CP rates. abstract OBJECTIVE: Asians have a reduced risk for cerebral palsy (CP) compared with whites. We examined whether individual Asian subgroups have a reduced risk of CP and whether differences in sociodemographic factors explain disparities in CP prevalence. CONCLUSIONS: Most Asian national origin subgroups have a lower rate of CP than whites, and this disparity is unexplained. Additional studies that focus on the cause of ethnic disparities in CP may provide new insights into pathogenesis and prevention. Pediatrics 2012;129: e992-e998 AUTHORS:
