Complications around the time of delivery remain a serious problem in this country. Many women are having children later in life, and medical conditions that increase risk may have had time to develop. Drs Ritter and deShazo explain the various risk factors as they describe diagnosis and treatment of these complications. As they point out, the conditions need to be identified and treated immediately, and this task often falls into the hands of primary care physicians.
