If health indicators are collected or recorded in terms of broad administrative classifications, such as 'migrant' or 'place of birth,' health risks in populations composed of internally displaced, refugees, or trafficked individuals may be obscured.
The study population was composed of all women giving birth (including live births and stillbirths), both immigrants and non-immigrants occurring in the most recent 10-year period available to each participating centre (table 1).
But after giving birth, the females formed tight groups composed of other mothers and their calves (pictured), the team reports this month in the African Journal of Ecology.
The control group was composed of 20 preterm low birth weight newborns.
The study sample was composed of women who gave birth in 2009.
The control group composed of 20 preterm low birth weight newborns born with a mean GA of 34.6 + 1.2 weeks having a mean birth weight 1725 ± 193 g.
The respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) group composed of 16 preterm low birth weight newborns born with a mean gestational age (GA) of 29.6 ± 1.5 weeks having a mean birth weight 1120 ± 156 g.
This group was composed of 462 (27.3%) of extremely low birth weight infants with a birth weight < = 750gms, 313 (18.5%) infants with a birth weight from 751 to 999 gm, and 920 (54.3%) infants with birth weight ranging from 1000 1500 gm.
The convenience sample was composed of all very-low-birth-weight newborns who met the eligibility criteria.
Entitled Birth, Life, Death, and Resurrection, the collection is composed of seven handmade, "functioning" pairs of shoes.
