Prognosis of the level of perinatal care in the Czech Republic in near future: I. Development of perinatal indicators in the Czech Republic
2011
Abstract
According to the two previous prognoses we observed improvements of perinatal care. While the reserves for the continuing improvement (medical and organizational) are already exhausted and while the conditions for provision of care are worsening, we could expect worse perinatal results in terms of further increase of low birth-weight rate, increase of cesarean section rate, and elevation of perinatal mortality above 4/1000.
