A prevalence survey of mental subnormality in Northern Ireland was carried out on lines similar to an earlier investigation by MacKay (1971). In a general population one and half million there were 6,854 ascertained subnormal individuals. The male : female ratio 1. 14 :1.

The interpretation of umbilical cord gases may not be straightforward following shoulder dystocia. We reviewed Perinatal and Maternal Mortality Review Committee data from New Zealand infants with moderate severe neonatal encephalopathy (NE) for 2010–2017 inclusive. If one or more of: pH ≤7.1; base excess ≤–12 mmol/L; lactate ≥6 mmol/L were present it was considered an abnormal result. One‐third (12/36) born dystocia had documented within the normal range. It is important clinicians to aware...
