DESCRIZIONE

Advances in medical science, public health, and health care interventions during the 20th century have led to dramatic decreases in infant and maternal mortality. Nonetheless disparities in infant and maternal health persist. Because their health remains a significant public health indicator, Perinatal Epidemiology synthesizes perinatal knowledge through the lens of public health practice.Table of contents Chapter 1: Introduction.- Chapter 2: Reproductive Health Issues.- Fertility.- Male and female infertility.- Infertility treatment.- Pregnancy intention.- Legal Induced Abortion.- Contraception.- Preconception care.- Chapter 3: Maternal Morbidity.- Definitions, measures, and measurement issues.- Overall Maternal morbidity.- Antepartum conditions.- Ectopic Pregnancy.- Hyperemesis of pregnancy.- Urinary tract infections.- Gestational diabetes.- Pregnancy-related hypertensive disorders.- Peripartum conditions.- Hemorrhage.- Perineal laceration.- Operative delivery.- Attributes of women with cesarean deliveries.- Postpartum morbidity.- Depression.- Public health interventions and their availability and use.- Primary prevention.- Secondary prevention.- Chapter 4: Maternal Mortality.- Definitions, measures, and measurement issues.- Antepartum mortality.- Postpartum mortality.- Chapter 5: Infant Morbidity.- Definitions, measures, and measurement issues.- Morbidity with shortened gestation and near-term IUGR and sequelae of prematurity.- Developmental Delay/Disabilities.- Infection.- Birth Defects.- Injuries (intentional/unintentional) .- Chapter 6: Fetal and Infant Mortality.- Definitions, measures, data sources, and measurement issues .- Descriptive Epidemiology: Overall mortality .- Early pregnancy loss and spontaneous abortion.- Fetal death.- Infant Mortality.- Infant mortality due to Sudden Infant Death (SIDS) .- Public health interventions, their availability and use.- Chapter 7: Fetal Growth and Gestational Duration.- Chapter 8: Conclusion
