Abstract

An analysis of 9399 consecutive singleton births delivered at this unit is presented. The incidence of low birthweight (less than 2500 g) was 7.4%. Further analysis of the 698 low birth weight babies indicated that a variety of socio-demographic risk factors are operational in the etiology of low birthweight. Many of these are preventable before pregnancy so that the implementation of preventive Public Health measures utilising appropriate technology at least in developing countries may be socially and economically preferable to continued financial investment in intensive perinatal services.

摘要

本文对该单位连续分娩的9399例单胎婴儿进行了分析。低体重儿（低于2500克）的发生率为7.4%。对698例低体重儿的进一步分析表明，多种社会人口学风险因素在低体重儿的病因中起作用。其中许多因素在怀孕前是可以预防的，因此至少在发展中国家，采用适当技术实施预防性公共卫生措施在社会和经济上可能比继续对围产期强化服务进行财政投资更为可取。
