Many factors, some without immediately rec­ ognizable significance to childbearing and many still unknown, undoubt­ edly contribute beneficially or adversely to the outcome of pregnancy. Knowledge concerning the impact of such factors on the fetus and sur­ viving infant is critical. Confounding analyses of pregnancy outcome, especially these past two or three decades, are the effects of newly un­ dertaken invasive or inactive therapeutic approaches coupled with the advent of high technology. Many innovations have been introduced with­ out serious efforts to evaluate their impact prospectively and objectively. The consequences of therapeutic misadventures characterized the past; it seems they have been replaced to a degree by some of the complications of applied technology. Examples abound: after overuse of oxygen was recognized to cause retrolental fibroplasia, its restriction led to an in­ crease in both neonatal death rates and neurologic damage in surviving infants. Administration of vitamin K to prevent neonatal hemorrhagic disease, particularly when given in what we now know as excessive dos­ age, occasionally resulted in kernicterus. Prophylactic sulfonamide use had a similar end result. More recent is the observation of bronchopul­ monary dysplasia as a complication of respirator therapy for hyaline membrane disease.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-02-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461594703\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-9468-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 229cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 298\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44421782995084,"sku":"9781461594703","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461594703.jpg?v=1775818352","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461594703","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
