La mortalité infantile continue à augmenter en France et l'Insee continue à désinformer à ce sujet.
Dans son bilan démographique de 2025, l'Insee prétend que la mortalité infantile est stable depuis 2022.

@factsory Merci de rappeler ce triste fait (qui dans un pays normal devrait envoyer macron et certain de ses ministres en prison).
Deux questions techniques:
1: on a une estimation des naissances, donc ¿à combien de morts d'enfants correspond cette hausse?
2: On voit une baisse importante en 2020. Est-ce du au covid? Si oui, pourquoi ça a eu une influence?

Vous voulez diminuer la fréquence des naissances prématurées ? Ce fléau qui tue chaque année un million de bébés peu après la naissance ? Et constitue la principale cause de mortalité infantile avant cinq ans (source OMS) ? Facile. Organisez une séquence Covid-19... tous les ans. Humour noir ? Presque, mais sur fond de vérité … <p class="link-more"><a href="https://www.lemonde.fr/blog/huet/2020/07/23/covid-19-chute-surprise-des-naissances-prematurees/" class="more-link">Continuer la lecture<span class="screen-reader-text"> de « Covid-19 : chute surprise des naissances prématurées »</span></a></p>

Objective To investigate the magnitude and evolution of inequalities in neonatal mortality rates by using area based socioeconomic indices in France.Design National population based study.Setting For 2015-20, data from the French National Health Data System (Système National des Données de Santé, SNDS). For 2001-08, neonatal death certificates and aggregate vital statistics data by municipality of residence.Participants Live births with a gestational age ≥22 completed weeks to a mother residing in metropolitan France, 2015-20 (4 293 403 live births and 10 869 neonatal deaths), compared with a 2001-08 study (6 202 918 live births and 14 851 neonatal deaths).Main outcome measures Differences in neonatal mortality rate (death before day 28 of life) according to the socioeconomic characteristics of the mother's municipality of residence. Comparison with data from a 2001-08 study to assess changes in socioeconomic inequalities and their contribution to the increase in neonatal mortality rate.Results The neonatal mortality rate was 2.53 per 1000 live births in 2015-20. Five indicators, previously associated with perinatal mortality, were combined into a perinatal French deprivation index (P-FDep) for the main analysis. P-FDep was categorised into five equal groups (deprivation groups 1-5) for comparison with other research and into 10 equal groups (deprivation groups 1-10) for more granular analyses, with group 1 being the least and group 5 (or group 10) the most deprived group. The rate in the most deprived compared with the least deprived group for P-FDep was 1.71 (95% confidence interval 1.60 to 1.83) times higher, based on the analysis of deprivation groups 1-5. A mortality gradient existed across the groups, translating into 2496 excess deaths (23.3%) when the rate in the least deprived group was applied to all areas. The gradient was more marked when deprivation groups 1-10 were used (relative risk 1.88, 95% CI 1.71 to 2.07 for the highest to the lowest deprived group). Compared with 2001-08 (neonatal mortality rate 2.39 per 1000), the rate remained constant in the least deprived areas, but worsened in the most deprived areas (+10.1% and +11.7% for groups 4 and 5, respectively), increasing the relative risks between the highest and lowest groups, which were 1.54 (95% CI 1.46 to 1.62) for deprivation groups 1-5 and 1.67 (1.55 to 1.79) for deprivation groups 1-10, in 2001-08.Conclusions In this study, the socioeconomic level of the mother's place of residence was strongly associated with the neonatal mortality rate. The data showed that inequalities have widened, contributing to the increase in the neonatal mortality rate.
