Nuchal cord as a cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 November 1998
Abstract
Approximately 1 in 4 of all babies are born with cord round the neck. Being such a common obstetric condition, there is a view that nuchal cord ordinarily does no harm. A number of studies have recognised cord round the fetal neck as a significant cause of fetal death in utero and perinatal morbidity. However, many obstetricians have different views about the significance of nuchal cord as a cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality.
