The costs of multiple pregnancy
Copyright policy )The costs of multiple pregnancy
This paper reviews US vital statistics to describe the increase in multiple births in the United States between 1977 and 1987 and clarify the participation of differing maternal ethnic and age groups to this trend. The projected needs for NICU beds and costs of handicaps are estimated based on the distribution of low birthweights in multiple gestations. The potential methods of changing the distribution of low birthweight infants in multiple pregnancies are discussed.
