Abstract
Summary: Recent surveys on pregnancy heartburn in Sheffield and Liverpool, and Chicago, U.S.A., have shown the incidence to be similar in both countries, and that it occurred in about two‐thirds of all pregnancies analyzed. Negro women suffered from this symptom as much as Caucasian women, though it occurred later in the pregnancy in the former group. Using a radiological test, a significant association was found between the symptom of heartburn and incompetence of the pyloric sphincter.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
