MARCH OF DIMES RELEASES PRE-TERM BIRTH REPORT CARD
In 2008 the US saw the first 2-year decline in the pre-term birth rate, following thirty years of increases. Premature birth can cause long-term disabilities, and is the leading cause of death in newborns; the March of Dimes has worked hard to lower the rate.
However, the overall report card was pretty dismal; the US received a grade of "D," with high rates of pre-term birth, especially compared with other industrialized nations. To read the full report go to http://www.marchofdimes.com/nov17_2010.html
