PPOR Description
- The infant mortality rate is a critical indicator of the health of a population and reflects a complex mix of factors that shape the health of mothers, newborns, and infants. In 2000, CityMatCH, a national public health organization dedicated to improving maternal and child health in urban areas, launched the National Perinatal Periods of Risk (PPOR) Collaborative to develop and field test the use and integration of PPOR-specific indicators and strategies in local maternal and child health practice.
-
- The PPOR approach has 5 major steps: 1. Engage community partners to gain consensus and support for reducing fetal and infant death rates (feto-infant mortality rate); 2. Display feto-infant mortality data by birth weight and age at death; 3. Focus on reducing the overall feto-infant mortality rate; 4. Examine potential opportunity gaps between population groups and 5. Target further investigations and prevention efforts on the gaps.
-
- PPOR includes two analytic phases. Phase I PPOR analysis uses the birth weight and age at death of infant and fetal deaths to map deaths into four risk intervention categories: Maternal Health/Prematurity, Maternal Care, Newborn Care and Infant Health. A standard population is used as a comparison or reference group for all other population groups, and excess deaths and excess death rates are calculated for each population group in relation to the reference standard. The reference group used for this analysis reflects actual outcomes among subgroups in Georgia that have relatively low feto-infant mortality rates and thus reflect achievable goals. Phase II PPOR uses follow-up analyses and integrates these finding with other information. This report focuses on Phase I analyses of fetal and infant deaths.
