ReviewWITHDRAWN: Interventions for preventing or improving the outcome of delivery at or beyond term.
Perinatal mortality and morbidity is increased in pregnancies of more than 42 weeks that are otherwise low risk. ⋯ Routine early pregnancy ultrasound examination and subsequent adjustment of delivery date appear to reduce the incidence of post-term pregnancy.
