01/01/1989 - " The conferences were designed to build upon the Institute of Medicine's study, "Preventing Low Birthweight" and had 3 specific goals: 1) to identify strategies to reduce the nonfinancial barriers to access to prenatal care; 2) to identify the components of prenatal care most effective in reducing the incidence of low birthweight" and had 3) specific goals: 1) to identify strategies to reduce the nonfinancial barriers to access to prenatal care; 2) to identify the components of prenatal care most effective in reducing the incidence of low birthweight; and 3) to develop health policy recommendations aimed at reducing the incidence of low birthweight. "
01/01/1989 - "Early and regular prenatal care is proven effective in reducing the risk of low birthweight. "
01/01/1996 - "The findings presented in this study are compared with the findings of other studies to find out the improvement in the use of maternity services and to explore factors behind the use of such services and factors that affect infant mortality." Results indicate that some determining factors of non-clinic prenatal care and infant mortality are: living in a rural area, the mother's education and age at the birth, high parity, short birth interval, and low birthweight. "
12/17/2014 - "Improved prenatal care and other public health efforts that promote full term delivery, particularly targeting high-risk families and mothers known to be carrying a fetus with CHD, may therefore be expected to improve the birth-weight of these infants and their long term health."
09/01/2014 - "The present meta-analysis indicated a significant reduction in perinatal mortality among women who attended antenatal care, gave birth to term and normal birth weight baby. "
