This variation could not be explained by differences in patient characteristics, including severity of illness, and underscores the importance of continued examination of our nutritional practices.

MATERNAL NUTRITION
Two studies remind us that maternal nutrition also affects neonatal outcome. In a case control study using a food frequency questionnaire, folate supplementation and increased consumption of fish and carbohydrate rich food at the time of conception, and iron supplementation in the last month of pregnancy, were associated with a reduced risk of small for gestational age at term.
