These findings are consistent with previous infant data [ 6, 14, 21].
Our urban data, therefore, provided a quite conservative control for comparison with the rural infant data.
This has been 46 to 47% in recent years (Victorian MCH infant feeding data) with no difference based on whether it is a first or subsequent baby (calculated by DAF using 2008 local government data from three areas) [ 20].
Finally, some authors have voiced concern that the AIMS norms are not applicable to infants in their country, 16 and it would be beneficial to provide them with a feasible statistical method to compare their infants' AIMS data with the normative data.
Linking pregnancy-screening data with infant health records would allow estimating the yield of cohort morbidity and mortality predictable from gestational hCG.
Of the 11 534 infants with complete infant weight data, 46 62% had data available on psychosocial outcomes from child-derived, parent-derived and teacher-derived measures, while educational outcome data were available for 82 87%.
Detailed magnetic resonance assessments of cardiac function and systemic perfusion are feasible in newborn infants, and provide more complete data with greater reproducibility than existing echocardiographic methods.
This bodes well for more accurate estimates of this important indicator, in particular the prospect of deriving infant mortality directly from vital registration data with minimal adjustment (46).
Maternal recall of breastfeeding after periods of time spanning between 9 and 20 years has been found to correlate well with infant feeding data obtained from medical records (r = 0.86) (13) or collected prospectively (r = 0.95) (14).
In a NICU setting, professionals would have rich information from the environment, previous contact with an infant, physiological data, and medical records that guide their assessment of pain.
