A prospective survey of necrotising enterocolitis in very low birthweight infants.

abstract：:This study reports changes in the prevalence and outcome of Down's syndrome pregnancies within a 15-year period in a defined geographical population in the north of England. Cases of Down's syndrome in births and terminations of pregnancy occurring between 1985 and 1999, were identified from the Northern Congenital Ab...
