Background And Aims: Despite a well-funded healthcare system with universal insurance coverage, Switzerland has one of the highest neonatal and infant mortality rates among high-income countries. Identifying avoidable risk factors targeted by evidence-based policies is a public health priority. We describe neonatal and infant mortality in Switzerland from 2011 to 2018 and explore associations with neonatal- and pregnancy-related variables, parental sociodemographic information, regional factors and socioeconomic position (SEP) using data from a long-term nationwide cohort study.

However, its overgrowth cannot be detected in a timely manner due to the absence of a normal ATD value. This study is to determine the ATD normal value in hip radiographs of children under the age of 14 and to establish the threshold for overgrowth of the greater trochanter.
