O&G Magazine Autumn 2019 Cover
Prematurity
Vol. 21 No 1 | Autumn 2019
This issue of O&G Magazine returns to a core topic of O&G management, that of premature birth – why it happens, how we manage it and the complications that can occur. It also touches on fascinating ground-breaking technologies we hope to see in the future that may revolutionise the management of those babies born on the cusp of viability and who face such a precarious course postnatally.
