Questions were of a "yes" or "no" or multiple choice nature or needed data in figures, such as birth date, birth weight, death time, and others.
Infant variables compared across linkage groups were admission to a special care nursery (SCN) or neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), Apgar score at one minute less than 4, sex, birth weight, death in hospital, and gestational age.
Findings are mixed with regard to the detrimental effect of tobacco on smooth pursuit 22, but tobacco smoking during pregnancy is related strongly to low birth weight, death from perinatal disorders, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and altered lung development 35, 36.
PYLL is a summary measure of premature mortality that provides an explicit way of weighting deaths occurring at younger ages.
Intimidation, then, isn't a factor – and that's keeping me keen, whereas before the weight of death after death after death was simply too heavy for me to carry on.
Main outcome measures were: Low birth weight, fetal death, neonatal death.
The benefits and importance of postpartum family planning are well documented and include, at the individual level, reduction in the risk of miscarriage, low birth weight, neonatal death, maternal death, preterm birth, anaemia, and premature rupture of membranes (2, 3).
The YPLL is a summary measure of premature mortality that gives higher weight to deaths occurring at younger age and lower weight to deaths at higher age.
As our main research question concerns differences in the distributions of ages at death and we do not intend to place any normative judgment on those differences, we decided to give equal weight to deaths at all ages under study.
YPLL gives more weight to deaths occurring at younger ages [16].
