Maternal Risk Factors Associated with Fetal and Infant Mortality

Although countless studies have shown relationships between maternal risk factors and low-birth weight, pre-term birth, and fetal and infant morbidity (e.g. reduced apgar scores), fewer have demonstrated direct associations with fetal and infant death.
