title: Variability in paediatric outcomes within wealthy countries.
abstract: Our Different View was stimulated by our analyses that identified very different risks of preterm birth (and most likely their outcomes) in the Aboriginal subpopulation of Western Australia. Given the increasing immigration into many wealthy countries in both North America and Europe, it is unlikely that these patterns we described are unique to Australia. Hence, our thoughts about the causes of disparities and ways to minimize them may well help others have a different view and approach to this universal paediatric issue.
