Social and ethnic disparities in stillbirth and infant death in Denmark, 2005–2016

Abstract Ethnic disparity in stillbirth and infant death has been demonstrated in Europe. As the relation between migration and health change over time, this population based register study investigated the recent figures and explored if potential differences could be explained by the well-known edu...
