Abstract
The risk of neonatal respiratory disorders was calculated in an unselected, total population together with the relative contributions of some factors found associated with an increased risk. Postnatal asphyxia, expressed as a low 1-min Apgar score, and low gestational age were substantial, independent risk factors. Cesarean section added, though less markedly, to the risk of the above disorders.Keywords
