Repeated DSH, morbidity and mortality are significantly increased [ 1– 3], and repetition rates among patients hospitalised for DSH have been found to be 16%% the first year, with a suicide rate of 7%% over the following nine years [ 4].
This means that households, as well as extended family and kin networks that are linked together across households, are likely to experience repeat morbidity and mortality that saps what resources they have or are able to continue garnering.
A regression model with gestational age at delivery as the dependent variable was constructed and repeated with neonatal morbidity as the dependent variable.

However, when the extremity lesion is giant, any treatment method other than complete resection and reconstruction will have a high propensity to increased morbidity of repeated surgeries and a high possibility for pathological fracture.
Poor mobilization has important consequences, increasing the morbidity after repeated mobilization attempts and significantly reducing the possibility of transplantation [ 66].
However, it is possible that the effects observed might be more pronounced with intravenous administration of antibiotics than with oral ingestion or the subcutaneous route that was used in this model, in order to avoid the morbidity from repeated venupuncture in a small mammal.
These children seem to suffer from multiple diseases and co-morbidities with repeated manifestations, a condition for which the term 'frequently sick child' was defined by Stepanova and coworkers [ 30].
