Notes:
Recent surveys on pregnancy heartburn in Sheffield and Liverpool, and Chicago, U.S.A., have shown the incidence to be similar in both countries, and that it occurred in about two-thirds of all pregnancies analyzed. Negro women suffered from this symptom as much as Caucasian women, though it occurred later in the pregnancy in the former group. Using a radiological test, a significant association was found between the symptom of heartburn and incompetence of the pyloric sphincter.
