    A study of the recorded causes of perinatal mortality has been made in South Australia for the years 1970 to 1973. The overall perinatal mortality was 22.16 per 1,000 births. Higher mortality was observed in babies of women resident outside the metropolitan area, of those aged under 20 and over 35 years, and of those not currently married. The most frequent causes of perinatal mortality were prematurity, placental insufficiency, congenital anomalies, maternal disorders and haemorrhage, in that order. Multiple pregnancy had a high perinatal mortality. Better recording systems with record linkage are required.

    Development of the Oral Microbiota

    The establishment of the oral microbiome begins before birth, challenging the long-held belief that the fetal oral cavity is sterile. The presence of oral microbes such as Streptococcus and Fusobacterium in amniotic fluid suggests that microbial exposure may occur in utero, potentially through translocation from the maternal oral or gastrointestinal tract. This early colonization primes the neonatal immune system and sets the stage for subsequent microbial succession. Maternal health,...
