title: Factors influencing sema-natal mortality.
abstract: "In this paper an attempt has been made to examine the crude impact of the factors:  birth weight, maternal age, gravida and sex on sema-natal mortality [defined by the author as mortality occurring within the first seven days of life], on the one hand, and the relative effect of each of these factors individually, in the absence of the influence of other factors, on the other hand.  For this study, data are collected from the case card records of mothers registered for delivery, during the period 1978-80 in Anand Municipal Hospital, Anand (India).... Out of [3,050] live births, 99 are found to have ended in deaths within seven days of their birth."
