Epidemiology of prostatic disorders in the city of Barcelona.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Mother's ethnicity is associated with her baby's birthweight and risk of perinatal mortality. Given the close relation between birthweight and perinatal mortality, we explored whether ethnic differences in birthweight explain ethnic differences in perinatal mortality. METHODS:Data on all births to mothers b...
