Abstract

This study explores cause-specific infant mortality in Copenhagen between 1861 and 1911, using newly available individual-level data from The Copenhagen Burial Register, as part of a larger comparative project within the SHiP network (Studying the history of Health in Port Cities). The aim is to determine the dominant cause of death patterns for infants and to explore how the ICD10h coding system performs with the Danish individual level-historical causes of death. The results show that in Copenhagen, infant mortality began a distinct decline during the period of study (1861–1911), but the city experienced only very few changes in the cause of death pattern. While a transition from symptomatic to more specific causes of death took place over time, the largest killers overall were the water-food borne and airborne diseases, with a respectively summer and winter peak. The airborne and water-food borne diseases were mainly dominant amongst the post-neonates, whose mortality made up an increasingly larger share of infant deaths. Finally, the results show that although coding the Danish causes of death to the ICD10h has proven successful, more attention needs to be paid to different uses of the same cause of death by different nations, such as the case of atrophy.
1861-1911年丹麦哥本哈根的死因特异性婴儿死亡率使用个人水平数据进行了探讨
本研究探讨了1861年至1911年间哥本哈根的特定原因婴儿死亡率,使用了哥本哈根埋葬登记册中最新获得的个人层面数据,作为船舶网络中更大的比较项目的一部分(研究港口城市的健康史)。目的是确定婴儿死亡模式的主要原因,并探索ICD10h编码系统在丹麦个人水平-历史死亡原因方面的表现。结果表明,在哥本哈根,婴儿死亡率在研究期间(1861-1911)开始明显下降,但该城市在死亡原因模式上只有很少的变化。虽然随着时间的推移,从症状性死亡向更具体的死亡原因过渡,但总的来说,最大的杀手是水-食物传播疾病和空气传播疾病,分别在夏季和冬季达到高峰。空气传播和水-食物传播的疾病在新生儿后期占主导地位,其死亡率在婴儿死亡中所占比例越来越大。最后,结果表明,虽然将丹麦的死亡原因编码到ICD10h已被证明是成功的,但需要更多地注意不同国家对同一死亡原因的不同用途,例如萎缩的情况。
