Importance The association between household income and perinatal health outcomes has been understudied. Examining disparities in perinatal mortality within strata of gestational age and before and after adjusting for birth weight centile can reveal how the income gradient is associated with gestational age, birth weight, and perinatal mortality. Objectives To investigate the association between household income and perinatal mortality, separately by gestational age strata and time of death, and the potential role of birth weight centile in mediating this association. Design, Setting, and Participants This cross-sectional study used individually linked data of all registered births in the Netherlands with household-level income tax records. Singletons born between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2016, at 24 weeks to 41 weeks 6 days of gestation with complete information on birth outcomes and maternal characteristics were studied. Data analysis was performed from March 1, 2018, to August 30, 2021. Exposures Household income rank (adjusted for household size). Main Outcomes and Measures Perinatal mortality, stillbirth (at ≥24 weeks of gestation), and early neonatal mortality (at ≤7 days after birth). Disparities were expressed as bottom-to-top ratios of projected mortality among newborns with the poorest 1% of households vs those with the richest 1% of households. Generalized additive models stratified by gestational age categories, adjusted for potential confounding by maternal age at birth, maternal ethnicity, parity, sex, and year of birth, were used. Birth weight centile was included as a potential mediator. Results Among 2 036 431 singletons in this study (1 043 999 [51.3%] males; 1 496 579 [73.5%] with mother of Dutch ethnicity), 121 010 (5.9%) were born before 37 weeks of gestation, and 8720 (4.3 deaths per 1000) died during the perinatal period. Higher household income was positively associated with higher rates of perinatal survival, with an unadjusted bottom-to-top ratio of 2.18 (95% CI, 1.87-2.56). ...
