Map showing newborn deaths and stillbirths by health trust / board: MBRRACE 2021

This map shows differences in perinatal (both newborn deaths and stillbirths), neonatal (newborn) deaths and stillbirths by trusts and board for 2021. MBRRACE compares perinatal outcomes between similar trusts and boards to produce comparison groups. Hover over the trusts to get more details information including mortality rates for newborns and stillbirth rates.

* Standardised rates: The stabilised & adjusted mortality rate for each organisation is calculated by multiplying the appropriate ’comparator’ mortality rate by an organisation-specific standardised mortality ratio calculated from the data. For the Trusts and Health Boards of birth the comparator mortality rate is the overall rate for Trusts and Health Boards in the same comparator group. The SMR is estimated using a multilevel logistic regression model. A multilevel model is used as it can accommodate the hierarchical structure of the data through the random term; that is, births clustered within organisations. These models also allow the calculation of stabilised (also known as 'shrunken' or 'smoothed') estimates of the organisation-specific terms, which reduce the likelihood of organisations being falsely identified as outliers by chance alone.
