title: Infant mortality--gynaecological and unemployment aspects in Opole Province, Poland.
abstract: In the study the results of the relation between infant (neonatal + post-neonatal) mortality and the gynaecological and unemployment factors are presented. The findings are based on Bayesian modelling and indicate the possible influence of the unemployment situation on mortality, whereas no correlation was found as regards access to the availability of gynaecological health care. The main conclusion is that elevated unemployment which could be referred to a poor socioeconomic situation (amongst other factors) may force pregnant women to pay more attention to improving their life conditions, than to sufficient medical controlling.
