摘要：

Risk factors that increase the likelihood of discrimination against girls in India have not been well studied. In this study of hospitalized children in Punjab, India, girls were less likely to be in the newborn or infant age groups, to be of the Sikh religion, or to come from far away than were boys. These differences suggest that these factors are significant risk factors for denied access to medical care for girls living in Punjab, India.
