Abstract
The patterns of morbidity and management among clinic and private patients in a teaching hospital were compared by an audit of computerized case records. The clinic patients were more likely to have a poor obstetric history and antenatal complications, and the private patients were managed more actively. Perinatal mortality in the clinic patients was higher and was related to the higher frequency of low birth weight babies.Keywords
