- smeej 1y agoIt's certainly another question, but the question of appropriateness seems to depend on context. I don't see what would make either more appropriate than the other in terms of "things a data analysis website might assess"?
- timewizard 1y agoIf you're improving newborn mortality by harming the mothers mortality then your model, at the very least, should not be blindly replicated.
- Retric 1y agoThat and any other interesting info is going to be swamped by natural abortions which end a large fraction of all human pregnancies ~40% everywhere.
- smeej 1y agoThis article is only about the survival of children born alive. Not saying that other question isn't worth looking at too. It's just a separate one from the one in this article.
- smeej 1y agoThis is looking entirely at the survival of children after birth. It even normalizes for situations where children are born before full-term. What happens to postpartum mothers is certainly another question worth looking at, but the two questions are separate enough after birth that one can still be perfectly "relevant" without the other.
