TL;DR: It is suggested that a better understanding of the context of feticide is needed to ensure that future research in this area of health care engages adequately with issues of professional discretion.

TL;DR: Improved prenatal and postnatal diagnosis may account for the increase in prevalence of congenital cerebral anomalies in Europe from 2005 to 2014, however, major differences in prevalence remain between regions.

TL;DR: Using data from a population-based survey of late fetal losses, stillbirths and infant deaths, the Northern Perinatal Mortality Survey, the potential for inaccuracy of crude measures of perinatal mortality is demonstrated.

TL;DR: Declines in stillbirth and infant mortality in Newcastle were associated with reductions in birthweight- and gestational age-specific mortality rates and occurred in most cause-specific groups of death.

TL;DR: The summarized evidence suggests that health-related QOL of these children is affected by associated anomalies and ongoing morbidity resulting in lower physical functioning and general health perception and those involving children should use age-adjusted, validated instruments to measure both health- related QOL and self-reported subjective wellbeing.
