“…However, it is much higher than incidences of 1 per 1000, 1.3 per 1000, and 2 per 1000 pregnancies reported in the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan respectively Licensed Under Creative Commons Attribution CC BY (36,37,38) . The reason for low prevalence in industrialized countries compared to developing countries may be due to differences in the denominators (per pregnancies versus per deliveries) and most studies in developing countries were hospital based (39) .…”
