【 摘 要 】

Introduction: Sex ratio at birth remains unchanged in absence of human intervention. A tendency of skewing towards males is seen in Asian population attributable to various reasons, foremost being abortions. The decreasing number of female population is a form of gender discrimination and has serious implications for both sexes in the future. The purpose of this study was to analyze the trends of sex ratio at birth among deliveries at Lumbini Medical College Teaching Hospital, Palpa, Nepal over the past eight years.
