Trends in perinatal health in metropolitan France from 1995 to 2016: Results from the French National Perinatal Surveys

Abstract

Routine national perinatal surveys highlight successful policies and recommendations but also point out some health indicators, practices, preventive behaviours and risk factors that need special attention.

The impact of neonatal unit policies on breast milk feeding at discharge of moderate preterm infants: The EPIPAGE‐2 cohort study

“…Regional breast milk feeding initiation rates in the French population were extracted from the French National Perinatal Survey (Blondel et al, ) and classified into terciles ( n/N , % [95% CI]): low, 3043/5089, 59.8% (58.4, 61.1); intermediate, 2770/3995, 69.3% (67.7, 70.9); and high 4324/5573, 77.6% (76.5, 78.7). Breast milk feeding was recorded on Days 2 to 3 after birth.…”

“…To better describe the regional unit environment regarding BMF, we also extracted data from the 2010 French National Perinatal Survey to consider regional BMF initiation rates in the general population. Regional BMF initiation rates in the general population were estimated from a national sample of 14,761 live births representative of all births in 2010 (Blondel, Coulm, Bonnet, Goffinet, Le Ray, & National Coordination Group of the National Perinatal Surveys, ) and classified into terciles (low, intermediate, and high). Finally, general characteristics used to describe perinatal centres were level III or IIb unit (Stark & American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Fetus and Newborn, ) and volume.…”

Perinatal outcome of placental massive perivillous fibrin deposition: a case–control study

“…Data about the newborn included: birthweight, umbilical artery pH, and the occurrence of either neonatal intensive unit care transfer or death before discharge. Fetal growth restriction was defined according to the French curves derived from 2003 National Perinatal Survey . The birthweights observed were related to the median for gestational age, as birthweight ratios …”

Prématurité : définitions, épidémiologie, étiopathogénie, organisation des soins

“…Selon les données EuroPeristat 2004.Inserm-U.953[5][6][7]. Une nouvelle enquête a eu lieu en mars 2010, dont les résultats ne sont pas encore disponibles.…”

“…Cette étude multicentrique dans plusieurs régions de différents pays d'Europe, concernant les grands prématu-rés de moins de 32 SA, a eu pour but d'évaluer les transferts in utero, postnatals de nouveau-nés et les circuits de devenir de ce type de nouveau-né. Ont mis en évidence des disparités dans la fréquence et la survie à court terme des enfants grands prématurés de 24 à 31 +6 SA nés vivants[7]. Cette étude multicentrique dans plusieurs régions de différents 2 EPIPAGE: étude ÉPIdémiologique sur les Petits Âges GEstationnels 3.…”
