Systematic assessment of the sex ratio at birth for all countries and estimation of national imbalances and regional reference levels

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance This study provides information on sex ratio at birth (SRB) reference levels and SRB imbalance. Using a comprehensive database and a Bayesian estimation model, we estimate that SRB reference levels are significantly different from the ...
