Birth outcomes and survival by sex among newborns and children under 2 in the Birhan Cohort: a prospective cohort study in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia
This study identified a significant sex difference in mortality and birth outcomes. We recommend focusing future research on the mechanisms of these sex differences in order to better design intervention programmes to reduce disparities and improve outcomes for neonates.
