[Computer-assisted obstetric data collection and processing--trial with a system solution].

A system is introduced for the registration and utilization of obstetrical dates. It is based on a new birth journal and a file for date collection in agreement to that. With the aid of a bureau computer a short delivery report will be given for the out-patient department of post-clinical medical attendance, as well as a label with the most important obstetrical dates for the postnatal care will be printed. An extensive birth report can be requested. The voluminous obstetrical statistics will be concentrated in form of charts.

[Effect of parity status and age of Libyan mothers on body length and birth weight of newborn infants. A comparative study].

The parity status (p.s.) (1st to greater than or equal to 14th para) of 3,283 mothers, who have been delivered in the Central Hospital of Az Zawiyah/Libya between 1980 to 1983, had as well as to the length (average total increase 1.6 cm) and to the birthweight (average total increase 475.9 g) a rising influence with growing order number. This can be described for the birthweight (b.w.) by a founded equation: b.w. = 2691.5337 + 607.2859 X p.s.0.2. The connections are more clear, than in the control group of our own hospital. The results are statistical verified. By way of possible causes are discussed the short interval of deliveries by relative small average age of mothers, fortified reactions of endocrinological system and the specific spatial and functional relations in uterus of multiparity. The increasing frequency of male births by higher age of mothers affects the average weight in the high multipara.

[Amniotic fluid embolism caused by uterine rupture with severe coagulopathy].

There is reported on a 35 years old woman, who was delivered of her third child. Six days after the expected day of delivery labour was introduced. On the end of the second stage an amniotic fluid infusion happened. The patient was transferred to the ward for intensive therapy following initial treatment. Within four hours she received 22 units of blood and 27 units of coagulo-active substance because of severe coagulation defect. After restoration of coagulability of blood hysterectomy had to follow owing to uterine rupture which in the first instance was overlooked. Woman and child survived.

[The giant infant (birth weight equal to or greater than 5,000 g) in obstetrical records of the Az Zawiyah/Libya Central Hospital].

291 giant babies with a birth weight over 5000 g (= 0.58 per cent) were registered among 49,976 newborns, delivered in the Central Hospital of Az Zawiyah (Libya) within 9 years. Some etiological factors have been made responsible for the origin of this intrauterine macrosomy. High multiparity combined with high age of the mothers are of evident importance. A second equivalent factor is the habit of nourishment with vegetable in this region. Diabetes mellitus and hypertensive disorders in pregnancy are not so much frequent causal factors of giant babies than in middle of europe, where the total frequency is considerably lower. The stillbirthrate of 12.7 per cent is significant increased compared to a control group, but in the same level of comparable studies.
