‘A Time to Die’?

ALISON MACFARLANE

National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit, Radcliffe Infirmary Oxford OX26HE.UK.

Macfarlane A (National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit, Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford 0X2 6HE, UK) ‘ A time to die’? International Journal of Epidemiology 1984, 13: 38– 44.

In both the newborn and the elderly, medical care is increasingly able to prolong or curtail life. It is difficult to assess what effect this may have on the population as a whole and what implication it may have for the interpretation of both short-term and longer-term changes in mortality. The definition of cut-off points for age groups is critical to the interpretation of the way changes in medical care could affect infant mortality rates.
