Pregnancy and Risk: The Basis of Rational Management

By D.K. James

In recent years, increasing demands have been made for better measurement, evaluation and control of risk in pregnanacy in clinical decision making. This book examines the perception, prediction, early recognition and identification of risk in pregnancy and also describes the practical skills required to assess risk factors and to counsel, educate and support prospective parents in high-risk situations. The implications of certain factors or conditions that involve risk are discussed, as well as the adjustments that can be made to conventional management. Practical details regarding methods of collection, recording and analysis of data, and the allocation of resources are described, with the goal of recognizing risk before it becomes a problem.
