Live singleton births at 24 – 36 weeks , England and Wales 2006–2012 . Stratified by gestational age at birth (completed weeks) and cause of death. Adjusted for IMD, birth year and gestation week. All models have acceptable goodness-of fit (Pearson p>0.1). P-value from Wald test for ethnic variation shown in bold if statistically significant, with Bonferroni significance level 0.0021 to compensate for multiple tests.
