Intrapartum Risk Factors for Newborn Encephalopathy:The Western Australian Case-Control Study BMJ 317:1554-1558,1537, Badawi,N.,et al, 1998 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The causes of newborn encephalopathy are heterogeneous and may related to the antepartum period. Elective caesarean section has an inverse association with newborn encephalopathy. Intrapartum hypoxia alone accounts for only a small proportion of newborn encephalopathy. These results question the view that most risk factors for newborn encephalopathy lie in the intrapartum period.
