Persistent racial/ethnic disparities in supine sleep positioning among US-born preterm infants, 2000-2015

The Journal of Pediatrics Mar 12, 2021

Hwang SS, Tong S, Smith RA, et al. - Through analyzing Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System data from 16 US states from 2000 to 2015 (weighted n = 1,020,986), researchers sought to evaluate trends in racial disparity in supine sleep positioning across racial/ethnic groups of early preterm (EPT;< 34 weeks) and late preterm (LPT;34-36 weeks) infants from 2000-2015. Non-Hispanic Black infants had lower chances of SSP compared with Non-Hispanic White infants for EPT and LPT groups from 2000 to 2015. According to results, supine sleep positioning increased for all racial/ethnic preterm groups between 2000 and 2015. However, there is still a racial/ethnic disparity in supine sleep positioning between the EPT and LPT groups.
