@TIMMSleicester @mbrrace 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. @TIMMSleicester @mbrrace

@TIMMSleicester @mbrrace The common causes of stillbirth and neonatal death remained the same in 2023. The cause of stillbirth remains unknown in one-third of cases. @TIMMSleicester @mbrrace

@TIMMSleicester @mbrrace 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. @TIMMSleicester @mbrrace

@TIMMSleicester @mbrrace Stillbirth rates decreased but neonatal mortality rates increased for the very smallest babies. Babies born at 22 and 23 weeks made up 25% of all neonatal deaths in 2023. @TIMMSleicester @mbrrace

@TIMMSleicester @mbrrace 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: | @TIMMSleicester @mbrrace

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. @TIMMSleicester @mbrrace
