Preterm Birth - Mother and Child
Edited by John C. Morrison, ISBN 978-953-307-828-1, Hard cover, 368 pages, Publisher: InTech, Published: January 27, 2012 under CC BY 3.0 license, in subject Obstetrics and Gynecology
DOI: 10.5772/1284
While there are many studies and books regarding preterm birth, both the obstetric and in the neonatal/pediatric literature, what is missing is the integration of data from obstetrics through neonatal course and into pediatrics as the neonate transverses childhood. A continued dialogue between specialties is essential in the battle against preterm birth in an attempt to relieve the effects or after-effects of preterm birth. For all of our medical advances to date, preterm birth is still all too common, and its ramifications are significant for hospitals, families and society in general.
