Objective: To compare the change in foetal and neonatal mortality in the Netherlands between 2004 and 2010 with the change in other European countries.
Design: Descriptive, population-based study.
Method: Data from the Euro-Peristat project on foetal and neonatal mortality in European countries were analysed for changes between 2004 and 2010.
Objective: To construct new Dutch reference curves for birthweight by parity, sex and ethnic background.
Design: Retrospective nationwide study.
Material And Methods: Reference curves for birthweight were constructed using the LMS model and were based on 176,000 singleton births in the Netherlands in the year 2001 (approximately 95% of all births in that year).

Objective: To determine trends in induction of labour-, instrumental vaginal delivery- and caesarean section rates in the Netherlands in the period 1993-2002.
Study Design: Data derived from The Netherlands Perinatal Registry and Statistics Netherlands were used to calculate annual rates for induction of labour, instrumental vaginal delivery and caesarean section. Regarding caesarean section, rates were also calculated for different subgroups with respect to parity, presentation of the fetus, gestational age and multiple pregnancies.
Aim/methods: To assess the risk of hypoglycaemia-associated seizures in large-for-gestational-age (LGA) full-term neonates data from the Netherlands Perinatal Registry were analysed.
Results: From 1997 to 2002 hypoglycaemia was recorded in 1513 of 9318 (16.2%) admitted LGA (defined as birthweight > or = 97.
Objective: To examine the effects of the Term Breech Trial on the medical behaviour of Dutch obstetricians and on neonatal outcomes.
Design: Retrospective observational study.
Setting: The Netherlands.
