"Vulnerability" and "resilience" are terms of such broad conceptual meaning as to be almost useless for careful scientific communication, except as rhetorical indicators of areas of greatest concern.
Other perinatal indicators reveal areas of morbidity for mothers and infants.

This potential indicator is an area of research that warrants additional attention.
