The outcome of pregnancy was studied in all women conceiving after ovulation induction with clomiphene at the gynaecological endocrine clinics operating in 2 Tasmanian cities. In 156 pregnancies where details were available, the main findings were: abortion rate 10.3%; multiple pregnancy rate 4.1%; congenital abnormality rate 3.6%; and perinatal mortality rate 3.5%. The results are compared with other reported series.
A phenotypic female, karyotype XY presented with virilisation and amenorrhoea. The gonads showed evidence of oestrogen and testosterone production and, in view of the risk of malignancy, a laparotomy was performed. A streak gonad was present on one side with a streak gonad containing discrete tumours on the other. The uterus and Fallopian tubes were present. Removal of the gonads and uterus and subsequent oestrogen replacement therapy have produced a satisfactory clinical result.
The genesis and implementation of a continuing obstetric audit in Tasmania is described. The survey includes all public and private deliveries in Tasmania. Some of the early difficulties and their resolution are discussed. Because of its simplicity, the suggestion has been made that such a system would be suitable for a national audit.
