Birth weight, gestation, and crown-heel length as response variables in multivariate analysis.

Abstract
Birth weight, length of the gestation period, and crown-heel length are analyzed individually and collectively as response variables using multiple regression techniques. Twenty-five variables considered to be related to prematurity are used as independent variables in the analyses. Major emphasis is upon the multivariate analyses involving 2 and 3 response variables. The method used was found to be practicable in application and to contain considerable promise in the study of perinatal mortality.
