Abstract
A survey of attendance for antenatal care at a public hospital in Brisbane was carried out. "Poor attenders" were more likely to be young, unmarried, grande multiparous, or aboriginal, and to live in a poorer area of the City. This group comprised 6.5% of the total population, but accounted for 14.6% of all low Apgar scores, 23% of all low birth weight babies, 23.1% of all stillbirths, and 18.2% of all neonatal deaths.
