Do very sick neonates born at term have antenatal risks? 2. Infants ventilated primarily for lung disease.
1. Ascertain antenatal and intrapartum risk factors for term neonates ventilated primarily for respiratory problems. 2. Describe the neonatal morbidity and mortality. ⋯ The pathways to neonatal respiratory morbidity in term infants are multifactorial. Several areas which warrant more in-depth study are: elective cesarean section at 37-38 weeks gestation, fetal growth restriction, macrosomia and the pattern of in-utero growth, maternal weight gain during pregnancy, gestational diabetes, pyrexia in labor and the role of chorioamnionitis.

Smoking, sex of the offspring, and risk of placental abruption, placenta previa, and preeclampsia: a population-based cohort study.
: Placental abruption, placenta previa, and preeclampsia are serious pregnancy complications with an increased risk of perinatal death. Smoking during pregnancy is associated with increased risk of abruption and placenta previa, and it reduces the risk of preeclampsia. We examined the association between mothers' smoking habits during pregnancy, taking the sex of the offspring into consideration, and the risk and prognosis of placental abruption, placenta previa, and preeclampsia ⋯ : Female fetuses are more vulnerable than male to the negative effect of maternal smoking on placenta previa.
