Supplementary file 1_Socioeconomic inequity in extreme outcomes within very pre-term and/o

Multi-national data from the RECAP Pre-term Project across six high-income countries analyzes socioeconomic inequality in extreme pre-term birth and extremely low birth weight among very pre-term infants. The dataset, authored by Hanifa Pilvar and last updated in April 2026, likely contains concentration indices and adjusted measures of horizontal inequity (HI1, HI2).

Use Cases

• Analyzing socioeconomic drivers of extreme pre-term birth based on concentration indices and horizontal inequity measures.
• Comparing cross-country disparities in neonatal outcomes based on data from six high-income nations.
• Investigating the role of parental education and ethnicity as moderating factors for health inequity.

Strengths

• Data spans six high-income countries, providing a multi-national perspective.
• Includes specific horizontal inequity index results for countries like the Netherlands (HI2 = 0.171) and Germany (HI2 = -0.046).
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 131.1 KB file size suggests a limited scope, likely containing summary results rather than raw patient-level data.
