Abstract
Attendance for antenatal care at a public hospital in Brisbane [Australia] was surveyed. Poor attenders were more likely to be young, unmarried, grande multiparous, or aboriginal patients, and to live in a poorer city area. This group comprised 6.5% of the total population, but accounted for 14.6% of all low Apgar scores, 23% of all low birth weight babies, 23.1% of all stillbirths and 18.2% of all neonatal deaths.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
