Mortalité néonatale en Seine-Saint-Denis : analyse des certificats de décès néonatals

The neonatal mortality rate in Seine-Saint-Denis in 2008 was 3.7 per 1000 live births vs. 2.6 in Île de France and 2.4 in Metropolitan France. The analysis of neonatal death certificates between 2001 and 2008 did not find any specific difference in the causes or characteristics of these deaths when compared with Ile de France or Metropolitan France. It seems that excess mortality in SSD affects all deaths, regardless of their cause.
