The Association between the Burden of PM_2.5-Related Neonatal Preterm Birth and Socio-Demographic Index from 1990 to 2019: A Global Burden Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Preterm birth (PTB) leads to short-term and long-term adverse effects on newborns. Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) was positively related to PTB. However, the global annual average PM_2.5 was three times than the recommended value in 1998-2014. Socio-demographic index (SDI) is a new indicator that comprehensively reflects the overall development level of a country, partly because of "the epidemiological transition". Among other countries with higher and similar SDI levels, policy makers have the opportunity to learn from their successful experiences and avoid their mistakes by identifying whether their burdens of disease are higher or lower than the expected. However, it is unclear about the trends of the burden of PM_2.5-relate
