Abstract
The field of perinatal medicine has been experiencing dramatic changes recently, mostly due to technological breakthroughs in antepartum and intrapartum care. Concomitantly, a substantial decline in perinatal morbidity and mortality has been observed. Whether these two phenomena are causally related has yet to be demonstrated. In fact, a recent report has suggested that this may not be the case (18).
