Choosing the best estimate of gestational age from routinely collected population-based perinatal data.

abstract：BACKGROUND:During pregnancy, most women do not meet gestational weight gain (GWG) guidelines, potentially resulting in adverse maternal and infant health consequences. Social environment determinants of GWG have been identified, but evidence on the relationship between neighbourhood violence and GWG is scant. Our study...
