Epidemiology and taxonomy in mental retardation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:An association between education and preterm delivery has been observed in populations across Europe, but differences in methodology limit comparability. We performed a direct cross-cohort comparison of educational disparities in preterm delivery based on individual-level birth cohort data. METHODS:The stud...
