Racial differences in birthweight for gestational age and infant mortality in extremely-low-risk US populations.

abstract：:Whilst only about a third of all cerebral palsy occurs in children who had been of low birthweight, recent increases in the survival of low and very low birthweight infants have coincided with significant increases in the numbers of cerebral palsy children amongst them. This paper analyses data from the Western Austra...

abstract：:Induction of labour is one of the fastest growing medical procedures in the United States. In 1998, 19.2% of all US births were a product of induced labour, more than twice the 9.0% in 1989. Induction of labour has been efficacious in the management of post-term pregnancy and in expediting delivery when the mother or ...
