Background: There is a well-known relationship between induced labour and caesarean rates. However, it remains unknown whether this relationship reflects the impact of more complex obstetric conditions or the variability in obstetric practices. We sought to quantify the independent role of the hospital as a variable that can influence the occurrence of caesarean section after induced labour. As part of the Port...
A whole range of techniques have been developed for estimating infant and child mortality from the information routinely recorded in maternity registers on age and reproductive history of delivering mothers. Among them, the best-known and most widely applied indirect technique was developed by William Brass. Using the baseline information from a birth cohort (Generation XXI) assembled in the period 2005-2006 in...

Background High caesarean rates are a matter of concern and the influence of hospital functioning in such rates has been debated. Objectives To understand the hourly pattern of deliveries after spontaneous labour onset, and to compare the trajectories of the mean number of deliveries on working days with those on weekends, according to the mode of delivery. Methods Between April/2005 and August/2006, women (n =...
The level of knowledge accuracy of results (KR) is a variable that interferes with the learning of motor skills, however such interference does not work the same way in adults and children. This study examined the effects of KR in children and adults during learning of a manipulative task with target accuracy. Forty adults (female = 21.13 ± 2.26 years; male = 20.97 ± 2.17 years) and forty children (female = 9.1...
To determine the prevalence of infertility in Porto and to assess the association between infertility and women's year of birth and socioeconomic status.In a cross-sectional study were evaluated in Porto, in 1999-2003, 1540 women aged 18-90 years. Structured face-to-face interviews comprising information on social, demographic, personal and family history, gynaecological and obstetric history, cognitive capacit...
Objective To assess the influence of social circumstances at 12 yrs on c-section delivery. Methods Women (n¼6827) were consecutively recruited during the assembling of a birth-cohort.
