Nagata, Yasushi; And Others
Early Child Development and Care, v17 n2-3 p123-30 1984
Incidence of self-scratching injuries were examined in 300 newborns divided into subject groups based on birth weight, gestational age, Apgar score, mode of delivery, and the presence or absence of delivery complications. Injuries were attributed to normal neonatal movements; degree of injuries may reflect the maturity and physical activity of the newborn. (Author/RH)
