Smith and Smith in 1949 (Am J Obstet Gynecol 1949;58:994) reported on the influence

As controls they used a series of primigravidas who received no special treatment.
They recorded the following conclusions: (1) It decreased the incidence of the late

of unexplained stillbirths was apparently decreased. (5) The neonatal death rate was
decreased.
