If you're improving newborn mortality by harming the mothers mortality then your model, at the very least, should not be blindly replicated.


That and any other interesting info is going to be swamped by natural abortions which end a large fraction of all human pregnancies ~40% everywhere.


This article is only about the survival of children born alive.

Not saying that other question isn't worth looking at too. It's just a separate one from the one in this article.


Your point? The thread is responding to timewizard’s comment wanting to look at both gestation and live births.


My point is...exactly what I asked in this thread? What makes one question more appropriate than the other? What is it appropriate to?


So your comment had nothing to do with what I just said: > That and any other interesting info is going to be swamped …<

Just making sure.


And yours had nothing to do with TFA or its topic.


This is looking entirely at the survival of children after birth. It even normalizes for situations where children are born before full-term.

What happens to postpartum mothers is certainly another question worth looking at, but the two questions are separate enough after birth that one can still be perfectly "relevant" without the other.
