Low birthweight and the risk for mental retardation later in childhood.

abstract：:The perinatal mortality rate (PMR) in twins was analysed using Japanese vital statistics during the period 1980-98. There was a total of 1992 twin perinatal deaths. The PMR in twins significantly decreased from 91 per 1000 births in 1980 to 31 per 1000 in 1998. The PMR was higher in males than females, but the differe...
