Maternal-Fetal Medicine: Principles and Practice

WELCH, ROBERT A.·1985·Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine

Abstract

During the past ten to 15 years, maternal-fetal medicine has seen the publication of several books aimed at providing the subspecialist with a comprehensive text/reference work. These attempts, however, have more often than not missed the mark because of incomplete content, inadequate depth beyond that found in textbooks of obstetrics, excessively specialized chapters by multiple contributors focused on their own research, or a nonobstetric perinatal perspective. Contrary to their predecessors, Creasy and Resnik have masterfully encompassed the boundaries of the subspecialty in their textbook,Maternal-Fetal Medicine: Principles and Practice. This work is logically separated into four parts: early fetal development and the environment, diagnostic modalities in maternal-fetal medicine, maternal and fetal pathophysiology, and the neonate. Each part is subdivided into chapters written by leaders in the field, many of whom are both scientists and practicing academic obstetric perinatologists. The flavor is, therefore, distinctly practical with as firm a basis in

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
