Multicenter Study
Physical symptoms after childbirth: prevalence and associations with self-rated health.
The aims of the present study were to describe the prevalence of a number of physical symptoms, as described by women themselves, two months and one year after childbirth in a national Swedish sample and to investigate the association between specific symptoms and women's self-rated health. ⋯ Despite the fact that physical symptoms were common two months and one year after the birth, the vast majority of women rated their health as 'very good' or 'good'.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Clinical Trial
Fetal heart rate patterns and ECG ST segment changes preceding metabolic acidaemia at birth.
To compare the rates of abnormal ST segment patterns of the ECG and cardiotocographic (CTG) abnormalities in fetuses with metabolic acidaemia at birth and controls. To evaluate the inter-observer agreement in interpretation of ST analysis and CTG. ⋯ The inter-observer agreement rate was higher for a decision to intervene based on CTG + ST than on CTG alone.
