Perinatal mortality rates: adjusting for risk factor profile is essential.

abstract：:Radiological examination of the abdomen is critical to the diagnosis of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC). Previous studies on the reproducibility of radiological findings have been limited in size and based only on infants with the disease. We conducted a study among a sample of high-risk infants with and without the d...
