Perinatal terms JF - Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health JO - J Epidemiol Community Health SP - 1019 LP - 1021 DO - 10.1136/jech.2004.023465 VL - 59 IS - 12 AU - Ruby H N Nguyen AU - Allen J Wilcox Y1 - 2005/12/01 UR - http://jech.bmj.com/content/59/12/1019.abstract N2 - This is the second of a two part glossary of terms used in reproductive and perinatal epidemiology. The purpose is to provide a reference for terms that are widely (if not always consistently) used in this field. While a glossary cannot resolve all these problems, it provides a point of reference for understanding them. Part 1 covered terms relevant mostly to events and conditions before birth. Part 2 emphasises terms used during the time around and after birth. ER -
