Pregnant women who have been infected with H1N1 swine flu virus are at a greater risk of delivering still born babies, a new study by Oxford researchers reveals.
Women from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh carried a 2.4 times higher risk of stillbirth as compared to Australian-born women, the research revealed.
"These results support observations in other Western populations that women of South Asian origin have a higher risk of stillbirth than other women. However, the reasons for this difference remain obscure”, researchers said.
At Greater Risk of Stillbirth Are Tiniest And Largest Foetuses
New research has found that the lightest and the heaviest foetuses are at much higher risk of being stillborn than those of average weight.
