The MBRRACE-UK perinatal mortality ‘State of the Nation’ report for deaths that occurred in 2023 has now been published. TIMMS 👉 read more: timms.le.ac.uk/mbrrace-uk-per…

Rates of baby deaths continued to decrease in 2023, mostly due to a reduction in stillbirths. Compared with 2022, stillbirth rates were lower in every nation of the UK and fewer newborns died in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. TIMMS

Stillbirth rates were similar across most trusts and health boards, but neonatal mortality rates varied more. You can view the rates for each trust and health board in our data viewer:timms.le.ac.uk/mbrrace-uk-per…

Persistent inequalities in baby deaths remained in 2023, with rates increasing for babies born in the most deprived areas for the third year running. Ethnic disparities also continued with Black and Asian babies more likely to die than White babies. TIMMS

These findings show that progress is being made in reducing baby deaths but there is still important work to do, especially to tackle the gaps linked to deprivation, ethnicity, and how early in pregnancy a baby is born. TIMMS

Equitable outcomes are still a long way off in maternity care, and investigations continue to show that women’s voices are not listened to. How do we escape from this spiral of concerns and develop maternal health services for the future? Marian Knight MBE bmj.com/content/389/bm…
