Birth outcomes

Birth outcomes refer to the results of a pregnancy, specifically the health status of the baby and the mother at the time of delivery. Key outcomes include whether the baby was born prematurely (before 37 weeks), their birth weight, and any immediate health issues, such as congenital conditions or breathing problems. Positive birth outcomes indicate a healthy delivery and a thriving newborn, while negative outcomes may involve complications affecting the mother or child. Monitoring and improving birth outcomes is essential for enhancing maternal and child health and reducing risks during and after childbirth.
