About this product

Product Information

The options in antenatal and neonatal care are legion. Preferences still tend to be subjective. In spite of much publicity that has raised public expectation, an up-to-date thorough evaluation of antenatal and neonatal screening was lacking. TLhis book sets out screening approaches in a quantitative manner and will enable choices to be based on objective evidence of efficacy and , where appropriate, safety. Technical advances have sometimes been introduced uncritically and without adequate assessment. It has been assumed, perhaps naively, that the early detection of abnormality will invariable be a good thing. In this book, there is no such assumption that new tests or technical procedures are useful. They are only considered as a legitimate medical option if they can and have been shown to lead to improvements in outcome. Each disorder is defined and the screening procedure which is designed to identify the disorder critically evaluated. Priority is given to the screening of disorders which lend themselves to effective intervention and practical guidance is provided on how screening should be conducted. Most chapters include a discussion of problem areas and research needs. There are 23 chapters from leading experts from Europe and North America. The book bridges different disciplines concerned with screening and thereby improves the understanding of the subject and will improve delivery of preventive medical services. The book is directed at obstetricians, public health doctors, pediatricians and fetal medicine doctors, epidemiologists, geneticists, health care providers, and administrators.

This is a valuable book. A rigorous approach is taken throughout... Altogether, this book contains a wealth of information on all aspects of screening in the antenatal and perinatal period., This is a book that should be on main hospital or university library shelves and many epidemiologists, obstetricians, and paediatricians will wish to have a copy at hand in their own departments., 'This textbook is recommended for both policy makers and health careprofessionals working in the fields of maternal and child health care.'International Journal of Epidemiology, An extraordinary amount of thought has gone into the production of the volume... The volume is essential reading for all concerned with maternal and child health and for those responsible for the provision of health services., 'This textbook is recommended for both policy makers and health care professionals working in the fields of maternal and child health care.'International Journal of Epidemiology, An epidemiologist's dream... this book is unique because it brings together such a wealth of data from so many experts that it is wonderful value for the price., This book gathers together a large amount of data about antenatal and neonatal screening. It is easy to consult and gives a very thorough review of antenatal and neonatal methodologies and procedures. It should be of great value to anyone concerned with screening procedures., This is an important and useful book which should be read by persons who are more involved in applying principles of prevention of disease than treatment only., It is intended and should serve as a companion to screening the mother and child for the prevention of genetic and environmental disease.
