Perinatal mortality and neonatal and maternal outcome per gestational week in term pregnancies: A registry-based study.

Introduction: Human pregnancy is considered term from 37+0/7 to 41+6/7 weeks. Within this range, both maternal, fetal and neonatal risks may vary considerably. This study investigates how gestational age per week is related to the components of perinatal mortality and parameters of adverse neonatal and maternal outcome at term.
