Infants of mothers with an immigrant background experience poorer health outcomes than infants in Germany as a whole. The aim of this study was to investigate whether differences exist in diagnoses leading to long-term nursing care among infants of Turkish vs. non-Turkish background.We analysed records of the medical service of the statutory health insurance of the region Westphalia-Lippe, 2004-2008. We used a name algorithm to identify cases with Turkish migrant background.There were 1 107 applications for long-term nursing care, 141 of which concerned infants of Turkish origin. "Inborn malformations, deformities and chromosomal abnormities" was more often the reason for application among non-Turkish infants, "Certain conditions which have their origin in the perinatal period" were twice as common among Turkish as compared to non-Turkish infants.Our results do not support the -assumption that mothers of Turkish origin more often apply for long-term nursing care due to malformations of their infant than other mothers. |
