Revisiting the 'Low BirthWeight paradox' using a model-based definition.
(2014) In Gaceta Sanitaria 28(2). p.160-162- Abstract
- Immigrant mothers in Spain have a lower risk of delivering Low BirthWeight (LBW) babies in comparison to Spaniards (LBW paradox). This study aimed at revisiting this finding by applying a model-based threshold as an alternative to the conventional definition of LBW.
