  • Title: [Epidemiologic approach to intrauterine growth retardation in the People's Republic of Benin].
    Author: Alihonou E, Azandegbe N, Perrin R, Hekpazo A, Laleye H.
    Journal: Rev Fr Gynecol Obstet; 1987 Apr; 82(4):253-7. PubMed ID: 3589367.
    Abstract:
    Intra-uterine growth delay is always difficult to define since it is calculated in percentile of a newborn population and requires the creation of stature norms in the population studied. This study, from the maternity hospital in Cotonou, seems in favor of constitutional factors at the origin of fetal hypotrophism. The statistical analysis of the population shows, as a matter of fact, that the small size of the mother and a past history of repeated abortions are the only factors appearing significantly linked to hypotrophism.
