Abstract
We examined whether ultrasound dating introduces sex differences in risks of adverse perinatal outcomes related to post-term birth.
We used the Swedish Medical Birth Register to compare male and female newborns during 1973-1978, when gestational age was based on the last menstrual period, and 1995-2...

Clinical Neurophysiology (119)8 2008
Abstract
The neonatal EEG time series tends to have statistically different complexities corresponding to different sleep states. Given that the neonatal EEG time series during active sleep is more complex than during quiet sleep, one can suggest that there is greater activity among cortical circuit elements...

Abstract
A prolonged gestation is more likely in pregnancies where the fetus has the salt-wasting form of CAH. This may be due to impaired cortisol production, although other changes in steroidogenesis may also be contributory....

Abstract
Before 41 weeks the stillbirth risk rose gradually but did not differ by parity. By 41 weeks there was a substantial increase in the stillbirth risk in nulliparous women but not in parous women. The pattern of rise is such that the stillbirth risk is 2.9 times higher (95% CI 1.06-8.19) in nulliparou...

Much ado about nothing: a comparison of the performance of meta-analytical methods with rare events.
Abstract
We evaluated the performance of 12 methods for pooling rare events, considering estimability, bias, coverage and statistical power. Simulations were based on data sets from three case studies with between five and 19 trials, using baseline event rates between 0.1 and 10 per cent and risk ratios of 1...

Abstract
Two thousand one hundred and seventy-six women were studied in Group A and 3716 in Group B. Twenty-nine percent of these pregnancies in Group A required induction of labor whereas 20.3% were for post-term. In Group B, 58% of pregnancies had labor induction and 55% for post-maturity. For the pregnanc...

Abstract
The increase in FHR baseline and in small FHR accelerations can be major factors in the prediction of subsequent fetal distress in healthy term fetuses. Use of neural networks seems to further improve the ability of computerized FHR analysis in the prediction of intrapartum distress....

Abstract
Recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEpo) has become the most widely used cytokine in the world. Following the success of its use in patients with end-stage renal disease, the usefulness of rHuEpo to ameliorate other anemias was assessed, including pediatric patients and newborn infants. The treatme...

Abstract
The LDD system appears to be acceptable to women and, for 40% of women, preferable to the EDD. Anxiety appears to increase as women go post-term, but problems of attrition mean the results regarding anxiety should be treated cautiously. Potential difficulties with implementing an LDD system are disc...

Abstract
UA-PI was inversely related to EFW (Spearson's correlation coefficient rho = -0.28, P < 0.001). Logistic regression showed an independent contribution of UA-PI to the birth-weight estimation (birth weight = 1356.8 - 232.0 x UA-PI + 0.65 x EFW). On ROC curve analysis, the prediction of LGA with the r...

Abstract
We studied acinar arterial walls in the following surfactant-era infants: controls (n=38): 22-41 weeks of gestational age (GA), exposed briefly to oxygen and positive pressure ventilation, died within 48 hr of birth; prolonged rupture of fetal membranes (PROM) and persistent pulmonary hypertension (...

Abstract
Postmaturity (OR 13.0, 95% CI 3.95, 42.77; P < 0.001) and SGA (OR 3.59, 95% CI 1.23, 10.5; P = 0.03) were more prevalent in 22qDS-SZ than controls. Postmaturity was non-significantly more prevalent in 22qDS-SZ than in newborn encephalopathy (P = 0.06) or 22qDS-NP (P = 0.2). SGA showed similar rates...

Body weight and length were the dominant predictors of body composition in LGA and AGA neonates. However, LGA neonates had significantly (P <.001, all comparisons) higher absolute amounts of total body fat, lean body mass, and bone mineral content and had significantly (P <.001, all comparisons) hig...

Neonatal hypoglycaemia is more common in a developing country, but may not be a clinical problem unless all fuel availability is reduced. Some textbook risk factors, such as hypothermia, disappear after controlling for confounding variables. Early feeding could reduce moderate hypoglycaemia in the s...

Abstract
Australian home births carried a high death rate compared with both all Australian births and home births elsewhere. The two largest contributors to the excess mortality were underestimation of the risks associated with post-term birth, twin pregnancy and breech presentation, and a lack of response...

Epidemiology (9)2 1998
Abstract
About 5% of babies are born postterm (that is, delivered after 42 completed weeks of gestation). Postterm infants experience more morbidity and mortality than term infants, prompting routine (and expensive) antenatal testing and active management of postterm pregnancies. This article reviews the epi...

Abstract
Computerised fetal heart rate records were obtained between 1987 and 1993 using the Sonicaid System 8000 for a cross-sectional study of postdates fetal heart rate variation; 567 singleton pregnancies at 41 and 43 weeks provided 1502 records. In all cases gestational age had been verified by ultrasou...

Studies published in the past year confirm that, under current conditions of good ascertainment of gestational age and careful clinical management of post-term pregnancies, post-term births are not at increased risk of perinatal mortality. They are, however, still at increased risk of intrapartum fe...

Abstract
In hospitals practicing early dating by ultrasound, post-term births were reduced from 13.3% to 7.4%, while pre-term births were increased from 5.7% to 6.8%. For the treatment group, the cohort study showed: 1) fewer post-term births, RR 0.7 (95% CL 0.7-0.8), 2) lower post-term perinatal mortality,...

Abstract
Only the tricuspid E:A ratio was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in post-term fetuses with a normal amniotic fluid index compared with term fetuses. Post-term fetuses with an abnormal amniotic fluid index had a significantly lower aortic peak velocity (P < 0.01), aortic VTI x HR (P < 0.01), and mitr...

The results suggest that after 42 weeks fetal monitoring with the modified biophysical profile does not improve pregnancy outcome as measured by umbilical cord pH, but is more likely to yield an abnormal result. The higher incidence of abnormal monitoring results in the modified biophysical profile...

We reviewed 8038 consecutive post-term gestations followed expectantly with a twice-weekly nonstress test and amniotic fluid index. There were nine antepartum fetal deaths and no intrapartum fetal deaths, a fetal mortality rate of 1.12 per 1000. Timing of delivery of the post-term gestation balances...
