The poor outcome among the present studied children with a short incubation and onset period is consistent with that of other previous studies [2,3,10,11].…”

The effect of sociodemographic factors on infant mortality according to cause of death: a birth cohort in Seoul, Korea, 1999–2003

“…The risk of neonatal, postneonatal, and infant deaths was higher for mothers under 20 and over 35 than it was in mothers in the 25-29 age group.

Furthermore, the study of Nabukera et al (2006) found that infants born to women aged 30 and above were at increased risk for prematurity and low birth weight; there is also a higher risk of fetal and infant mortality in this age group.…”
