The effect of fertility treatment and socioeconomic status on neonatal and post-neonatal mortality in the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To determine the association between fertility treatment, socioeconomic status (SES), and neonatal and post-neonatal mortality.

Study design

Retrospective cohort study of all births (19,350,344) and infant deaths from 2014-2018 in the United States. The exposure was mode of conception-spontaneous vs fertility treatment. The outcome was neonatal (<28d), and post-neonatal (28d-1y) mortality. Multivariable logistic models were stratified by SES.

Result

The fertility treatment group had statistically significantly higher odds of neonatal mortality (high SES OR 1.59; CI [1.5, 1.68], low SES OR 2.11; CI [1.79, 2.48]) and lower odds of post-neonatal mortality (high SES OR 0.87, CI [0.76, 0.996], low SES OR 0.6, CI [0.38, 0.95]). SES significantly modified the effec
