Pregnancy Outcomes

The MeSH tree is usually pretty good, but this is an instance where it fails. There is a MeSH term for Pregnancy Outcomes (added 1988), but it only lists two narrower terms: Live Birth and Stillbirth. That's all very well, but there are a lot of other outcomes to be considered.

"Pregnancy Outcome"[Mesh] OR "Abortion, Spontaneous"[Mesh] OR "Abortion, Induced"[Mesh] OR "Fetal Death"[Mesh] OR "Maternal Death"[Mesh] OR "Obstetric Labor Complications"[Mesh] OR "Perinatal Death"[Mesh] OR "Cesarean Section"[Mesh] OR "Infant, Low Birth Weight"[Mesh] OR "Term Birth"[Mesh] OR "Maternal Mortality"[Mesh] OR "Fetal Mortality"[Mesh] OR "Infant Mortality"[Mesh] OR "Birth Weight"[Mesh] OR "Birth Injuries"[Mesh]

"Obstetric Labor Complications" includes "Obstetric Labor, Premature" and its narrower term, Premature Birth. There is also "Infant, Premature" if this topic is of particular interest.

CINAHL:
MH "Pregnancy Outcomes" OR MH "Abortion, Spontaneous+" OR MH "Abortion, Induced+" OR MH "Term Birth" OR MH "Perinatal Death" OR MH "Infant, Large for Gestational Age" OR MH "Infant, Low Birth Weight+" OR MH "Infant, Postmature" OR MH "Infant, Premature" OR MH "Childbirth, Premature" OR MH "Labor, Premature" OR MH "Labor Complications+" OR MH "Maternal Mortality" OR MH "Cesarean Section+" OR MH "Birth Weight" OR MH "Birth Injuries+"
