AV Rate
Countywide IM rates were 4.9 to 5.5 from 1999-2002
AV IM rate more than doubled between 1999 and 2002
In 2002, there were 4903 live births and 53 infant deaths in AV*
* Small numbers cause large changes in rates

Our Response:
Four promising practices integrated to address the problem:
1. Focus Groups
2. Fetal Infant Mortality Review (FIMR)
3. PPOR
4. LAMB Community Collaboration
![Page 10: An Expanded Approach to Maternal and Child Health: Preconception Health in the Context of a Life Course Perspective Cynthia A. Harding, M.P.H. Los Angeles.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649caf5503460f94972fd5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Preliminary Findings
Among the 53 infant deaths:
68% died in first 28 days (42% died in 24 hrs)75% pre-term births75% low birth weight 21% Teens (< 20 years)43% were African Americans
![Page 11: An Expanded Approach to Maternal and Child Health: Preconception Health in the Context of a Life Course Perspective Cynthia A. Harding, M.P.H. Los Angeles.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649caf5503460f94972fd5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Focus Group Findings
Women Transportation to prenatal care Health concerns not taken seriously Stereotyped as single welfare moms Satisfaction with care after delivery
Providers Women entering late into prenatal care Difficulty in accessing high risk prenatal care Serious concern and commitment to collaborate
![Page 12: An Expanded Approach to Maternal and Child Health: Preconception Health in the Context of a Life Course Perspective Cynthia A. Harding, M.P.H. Los Angeles.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649caf5503460f94972fd5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Fetal Infant MortalityReview (FIMR)
National FIMR forms to review 2002 AV infant deaths (N=53)
PHNs conducted home interviews, abstracted hospital and provider records.
![Page 13: An Expanded Approach to Maternal and Child Health: Preconception Health in the Context of a Life Course Perspective Cynthia A. Harding, M.P.H. Los Angeles.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649caf5503460f94972fd5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What did we learn from FIMR ?
Babies born too soon and too small Late or no prenatal care Not first loss Psycho-social issues Transportation barriers Referral to high risk and specialty care
difficult and therefore not occurring

FIMR/PPOR Findings
Presented at community meeting in 2005
27 Neonatal Deaths (<1500 g, 0-28 days)
37% of infants had either a documented infection or congenital birth defect
100% of mothers had at least one risk factor for poor birth outcomes
![Page 18: An Expanded Approach to Maternal and Child Health: Preconception Health in the Context of a Life Course Perspective Cynthia A. Harding, M.P.H. Los Angeles.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649caf5503460f94972fd5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
FIMR/PPOR Findings (continued)
13 Infant Deaths (> 1500 g, 29-365 days)
Over half the infants had issues related to safety and 46% had a congenital birth defect
85% of mothers had at least one risk factor for poor birth outcomes

LAMB Findings:Moms with poor birth outcomes tend to have:
No insurance before pregnancy
Previous low birth weight/preterm infant
High blood pressure (before/during pregnancy)
Inadequate prenatal care
Early labor pain, water broke early
Reported feeling less happy during pregnancy
Smoked during pregnancy
Described their neighborhood as unsafe

Recommendations
1. Increase capacity to serve high risk families
2. Decrease barriers to care
3. Collaborate with and educate local health care providers
4. Conduct outreach to African American women, their families and community
5. Continue LAMB countywide

12 Short-term Interventions 1.Increase access to high-risk Ob care and
related ancillary services, such as labs; access is particularly difficult for Medi-Cal recipients.
2.Arrange faith-based youth services to provide health services.
3.Promote “100 Acts Kindness” for pregnant women.
4.Increase access to transportation for pregnant moms and advocate politically for trans. improvement.
5.Arrange male support groups to address the ”Role of Men”.
6.Present this data to local Ob and pediatric providers and staff to increase awareness.
7.Provide comprehensive assessment for newborns, especially for high risk ones.
8.Provide immediate information and planned follow-up for high-risk infants/moms.
9.Provide newborn infant care classes to new moms before they are discharged from the hospital.
10.Establish a 24-hour lactation team.11.Provide education for breastfeeding and
infant care during prenatal care.12.Bring providers and volunteers together to
identify best practices.
