Our study found a clear link between deprivation and women's use of emergency care in the year after giving birth. In the most deprived areas of England, 27% of deliveries were followed by an emergency hospital contact, compared with 17% in the least deprived. Read the report: buff.ly/v1RkPIL
Bar chart showing the proportion of deliveries followed by an emergency hospital contact in the first year after birth across five deprivation quintiles. Headline reads: “Women living in deprived areas are more likely to attend A&E in the first year after birth”. Subheading reads: “Deliveries followed by an emergency hospital contact”. Five bars decrease in height from the most deprived to the least deprived areas, with rates falling from 27% in the most deprived quintile to 17% in the least deprived quintile. A dashed horizontal line marks the average rate at 22%. The chart shows that women living in more deprived areas of England are substantially more likely to have an emergency hospital contact in the year after giving birth.
