____________________________________________________________________________________MATERNAL AND INFANT HEALTH PROFILE
BackgroundThe Office of Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Epidemiology in the MCH Bureau(MCHB) at the Maryland Department of Health created these health profiles to examinelocal maternal and infant health outcomes and risk factors compared to state averages. Localhealth departments should use these data and maps to identify and target population specificinterventions to reduce maternal health risks that contribute to increased fetal-infantmortality rates among minorities in Maryland.
While the statewide infant mortality rate (IMR) has decreased 32% since 1990, racial IMRdisparities persist. Infant mortality rates among Black non-Hispanic (NH) births areconsistently more than double the rates among White NH births. To eliminate this disparity,the IMR among Black NH births would have to decreased by approximately 60%. Theleading cause of infant deaths in Maryland are preterm birth/low birth weight and SuddenInfant Death Syndrome (SIDS) for both Black NH and White NH infants. Congenitalanomalies were the leading cause of death for Hispanic infants.
Perinatal periods of risk (PPOR) analysis is a method of examining all fetal and infant deathdata to identify opportunities to reduce perinatal mortality (Sappenfield, 2010). Results fromPhase 1 PPOR analysis suggests that half (49%) of excess, or preventable, fetal-infantmortality rates in Maryland during 2010-2017 was due to factors related to the maternalhealth and prematurity (MHP) period among Black NH births. Phase 2 analyses revealedthat the largest reductions in infant mortality and adverse pregnancy outcomes could beproduced by improving the social and economic environment of women which predisposesthem to poorer health and birth outcomes. Specifically, factors contributing most to racialdisparities in adverse pregnancy outcomes (APO: fetal or neonatal death, or very PTB andvery LBW births) include differences in marital status, education, insurance coverage,community socioeconomic disadvantage, hypertension, prior preterm birth or otherpregnancy outcomes, pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), and participation in theWomen, Infants and Children (WIC) program. Lack of prenatal care and tobacco use arealso associated with increased risks of APO, however, these factors do not appear to explainthe differences in APO rates between Black NH and White NH births in Maryland. Findingssuggest that eliminating the prevalence of hypertension could reduce APO’s by nearly 12%statewide. Drastic racial differences in marital status highlight the greater need for socialsupport and/or services for minority women to improve pregnancy outcomes (Salihu, 2014).For greater detail about preconception and prenatal risk factors, please visit the MarylandPRAMS website (PRAMS).
Programs should use these findings to develop evidence-based initiatives to improve the preconception and maternal health of women, and particularly Black NH women, to produce the greatest reductions in fetal and infant mortality in Maryland. For questions or comments, please contact the Maternal and Child Health Bureau at [email protected] or (410) 767-6713.

PRINCE GEORGE'SFetal-Infant Mortality RatesFetal-infant mortality rates (FIMR) represent the number of fetal (older than 20 weeks gestation) or infant deaths(younger than 365 days old) per 1,000 pregnancies in that year. NOTE: Source is linked infant birth and deathcertificate records which exclude records not linked due to certificate errors or migration and results in lowerFIMRs than those in Maryland VSA reports.
Of the 12,548 pregnancies in Prince George's in 2017 there were 15.5 fetal or infant deaths for every 1,000pregnancies.

PRINCE GEORGE'SPreterm Birth (PTB, <37 weeks)Preterm birth describes infants born prior to 37 weeks gestation and is a leading cause of LBW and VLBW, andinfant death. Preterm-related causes of death accounted for 35% of all infant deaths in the U.S. in 2010, morethan any other single cause.
Of the 12,422 live births in Prince George's in 2017, 10.8% were born preterm (<37 weeks gestation).

PRINCE GEORGE'SLow Birth Weight (LBW, <2500 grams)Low birth weight describes infants weighing less than 2500 grams, or 5.5 pounds, at birth and is a leading causeof neonatal mortality. Since low birth weight is typically associated with a preterm birth, many public healthinterventions focus on ways to reduce the rates of low birth weight, very low birth weight, and preterm birth asstrategies to reduce infant mortality.
Of the 12,422 live births in Prince George's in 2017, 9.8% were low birth weight (<2500 grams).

PRINCE GEORGE'SRisk Factor: Unmarried, No Father ListedBirths to unmarried women with no father listed on the birth certificate have an increased risk of adverse birthoutcomes. (Ngui, 2009; Luo, 2004; Alio, 2010). Mothers with a lack of paternal involvement are more likely toexperience greater psychosocial stress due to insufficient economic and social support which can lead to poorhealth behaviors and adverse birth outcomes.
Of the 12,422 live births in Prince George's in 2017, 37.4% were to unmarried women with no father listedon the birth certif icate.

Nationally, the rate of opioid use disorder during delivery hospitalizationsincreased 67% from 2010-2014 (Haight, 2017).
Of the 9,574 maternal hospitalizations in Prince George's in 2017, there were 2.3 with an OUD diagnosisfor every 1,000 maternal hospitalizations.

PRINCE GEORGE'SRisk Factor: Maternal Substance Use Disorder (SUD)In addition to opioid, other substances can lead to adverse birth outcomes. Cocaine use during pregnancy canlead to spontaneous abortion, preterm births, placental abruption, and congenital anomalies. Alcohol use duringpregnancy can lead to spontaneous abortion, growth restriction, birth defects, and mental retardation (Keegan,2010). This indicator represents a SUD diagnosis during a maternal hospitalization for the following substances:Opioids, Cocaine, Cannabis, Alcohol, Sedatives, and Hallucinogens.
Of the 9,574 maternal hospitalizations in Prince George's in 2017, there were 16.5 with an SUD diagnosisfor every 1,000 maternal hospitalizations.
