This classic text, first published in 1984, offers evidence-based guidelines for best practice in diagnosing and treating high-risk pregnancies. Chapters are in sections on the scientific basis of perinatal biology, diagnosis and therapy of fetal disorders, disorders at the maternal-fetal interface, maternal complications, and the neonate. The art program features color photos, b&w diagnostic and micro images, and color anatomical illustrations and explanatory diagrams. This sixth edition reflects the input of two new editors, plus the fresh perspectives of new and international authors. This edition offers four new chapters on spontaneous preterm labor, benign gynecological conditions of pregnancy, developmental origins of health and disease, and neonatal morbidities of prenatal and perinatal origin. Purchase of the book entitles the owner to online access to all text, tables, and images from the book, plus online quarterly updates, along with additional content that could not be included in the book, for a year or more, depending on when the next edition is published. Creasy is professor emeritus with the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences at the University of Texas School of Medicine-Houston.
