5 The frequency and magnitude of the impact of sources of negative vaccination information on parents’ views on vaccine safety and efficacy

Abstract

neurodevelopmental risk (pulmonary pathology, intracranial haemorrhage) were the cause of death in 15 (19.2%); however, in additional 44 (56.4%) cases causes of death were indirectly associated with neurodevelopmental risk, except 19 (24.4%) deaths caused by congenital malformations.In preterm infants without neurodevelopmental risk factors, the incidence of CS and vaginal delivery were similar. Premature infants with conditions related to neurodevelopmental risk were more frequently delivered by CS as a means to prevent neurological and other impairments and perinatal death.
