Estimation of the prevalence and incidence of infertility in a population: a pilot study.

A pilot study was undertaken to investigate the use of a mailed questionnaire to estimate the prevalence and incidence of infertility in a population, and the demand for medical advice about infertility. The objectives were to investigate the response rate, the acceptability and comprehensibility of the questionnaire, and to provide initial results. After elimination of undelivered questionnaires, a response rate of 82% was obtained. One question was found to be misleading in its wording: this question can be clarified before the questionnaire is used more widely. The results from analysis of the pilot study indicate that 20% to 35% of couples take more than 1 year to conceive, at some stage in their reproductive history. A much larger study, with a sample of approximately 3,500, is required to provide more accurate information.

Effectiveness of neonatal transport in New York City in neonates less than 2500 grams--a population study.

In the past two decades, there has been a gradual trend to regionalization of perinatal care, categorization of hospitals and transport services for neonatal health care. The literature alludes to both beneficial and deleterious effects of neonatal transport (T) but no controls such as a matched nontransport (NT) population have been utilized to date. The major goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of neonatal transport from Level I and II high risk less than or equal to 2500 gm. neonates (born in NYC in one calendar year, 1979) compared to a cohort nontransported population matched for hospital of birth, weight, race, sex and risk. All transported less than or equal to 2500 gm. from Level I and II (n = 328) were studied and a stratified random sample of the nontransported (NT) infants less than or equal to 2500 gm. from these same hospitals (n = 2042) was used for comparison. The principle outcome variable was survival. The major conclusion of this study is that in Level I and II hospitals the transport group had a significantly increased survival in infants who were sick (Apgar less than 6) compared to cohorted nontransported controls. Interhospital differences in survival were noted among Level I and II but not seen in the subdivisions of (A) and (B) hospitals.
