Hemoglobin concentration in pregnancy and perinatal mortality: A London-based cohort study

Article Abstract:

The association between maternal hemoglobin concentration during pregnancy and perinatal mortality is determined as failure of fetal growth during pregnancy and preterm birth are the major causes of stillbirth and early neonatal death. There is an optimal range of lowest hemoglobin concentration in pregnancy and on either side of this perinatal mortality is increased.

Chorioamnionitis with a fetal inflammatory response is associated with higher neonatal mortality, morbidity, and resource use than chorioamnionitis displaying a maternal inflammatory response only

Article Abstract:

A study is undertaken to evaluate whether the proximity of infection of the chorion/amnion and fetal vessels affects neonatal outcomes. It is found that chorioamnionitis with a fetal inflammatory response is associated with higher neonatal mortality, morbidity, and recourse use than when only a maternal inflammatory response is present.

The association between time of birth and fetal injury resulting in death

Article Abstract:

A study examines the relationship between time of birth and fetal injury resulting in death. Results conclude that fetuses sustaining injuries resulting in death are more than twice as likely as controls to be born from 11 pm to 8 am.
