We aimed to determine impact of BWD and BW-SMRs on differences in crude NMR and IMR among Korea, Japan, and the U.S. Our study used the live birth data of the period...
متن کاملNEONATAL MORTALITY IN RELATION TO BIRTH WEIGHT

متن کاملNeonatal and "perinatal" mortality rates by birth weight.
Neonatal and "perinatal" mortality rates by birth weight were compared for Sheffield and for England and Wales. The fall in neonatal mortality rate for Sheffield infants weighing 2500 g or less was partly due to the excessive fall in numbers in the 1000 g or less group: this effect was also present in England and Wales but was less pronounced. Perinatal mortality rates may be lowered either by ...
