The importance of neonatal asphyxia and caesarean section as risk factors for neonatal respiratory disorders in an unselected population

O Hjalmarson et al. Acta Paediatr Scand. 1982 May.

Abstract

The risk of neonatal respiratory disorders was calculated in an unselected, total population together with the relative contributions of some factors found associated with an increased risk. Postnatal asphyxia, expressed as a low one minute Apgar score, and low gestational age were substantially, independent risk factors. Caesarean section added, though less markedly, to the risk of the above disorders.
