2 Figure 1 Development of comparable and representative birth cohorts in England and Sweden For each exclusion criterion, the percentages of all livebirths and all deaths are shown in brackets. Crude mortality rates at age 2 days to 4 years per 100 000 person-years are presented for each country before and after applying all exclusion criteria.

3 Figure 2 Mortality at 2 days to 4 years in England and Sweden, overall and by selected risk factors at birth We calculated excess deaths at 1 year and 5 years by multiplying the number of births in the English cohort based on all births (n=6 100 404) by the difference in proportion of children who died by their first or fifth birthday in England and Sweden. Probability of death is only presented for one risk factor at a time. ED=excess death. The Lancet  , DOI: ( /S (18) ) Copyright © 2018 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd.

4 Figure 3 Survival at 2 days to 4 years by socioeconomic factors in England and in Sweden Q1 denotes the most deprived 20% of pregnant women. Q5 represents the least deprived 20% of pregnant women. Probability of death is only presented for one risk factor at a time. Q=quintile. The Lancet  , DOI: ( /S (18) ) Copyright © 2018 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd.
