[Risk of prematurity and reported bleeding in pregnancy (author's transl)].

The analysis of 5.139 cases from the prospective study "Pregnancy and Childdevelopment" (supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) showns that time and frequency of bleeding in pregnancy influence the risk of premature delivery. Every additional bleeding will increase the risk, especially if bleeding occurs in the second trimester. For example the risk of prematurity exceedes 25%, if bleeding occurs four times or more. After bleeding in early pregnancy the frequency of small for gestational age infants is not increased.

Birth Weight↗

[Somatograms of german newborns (author's transl)].

Birth-weight, length and headcircumference of 4748 German newborns in relation to gestational age are presented. There was found a good agreement to weight and length of Austrian newborns (Hohenauer). The own standard curves lie higher than the most used standards of Lubchenko/U.S.A. from 38 weeks onward. The problem interpreting such a standard as a standard of fetal growth are discussed. It seems reasonable to look at weight, length, and headcircumference together. So it may be possible to perseive discordancy of fetal growth.

Anthropometry↗

[Correlation of obstetrical and clinical data with nevi flammei in the newborn (author's transl)].

Nevus flammeus (teleangiectaticus) is the most common variety of congenital nevus. Among 3961 infants checked at the ages of 3--7 days and again at 6 weeks 42% showed nevi flammei mediales in the nape and/or in the eyelids and glabella. The mothers of the infants presenting with n.fl. tended to be overweight, to have circulatory distrubances and prolonged duration of laor. The infants with n.fl. frequently had concomittant edema, navel hernia and minor degenerative stigmata. However malformations did not occur more commonly. This investigation suggests that exogenous factors such as diseases during pregnancy, intake of drugs and difficulties in delivery do not influence the genesis of n.fl. Only constitutional factors could be correlated with the incidence of n.fl. Since there was a higher frequency in female than in male infants and a lower frequency in premature than in term newborns it may be that hormonal inffluences increase the incidence of n.fl., too. These results were obtained from the prospective study: Schwanger-schaftsverlauf und Kindesentwickling (DFG).

Body Constitution↗

[The serum level of ionized calcium, total calcium, and magnesium in neonates (author's transl)].

In the first three days of life ionized and total calcium and magnesium were determined in the serum and compared with perinatal parameters in a heterogenous groups of newborn infants (n equals 33). The findings allow the following conclusions: 1. There is a relative good correlation between ionized and total calcium. 2. There is no statisticly proven correlation between magnesium and ionized or total calcium. 3. There is a close relation between APGAR-score and the levels of calcium in the first hours of life. But apparently there is no relation between the gestational age or the weight of birth and magnesium, between the gestational age or the weight of birth and ionized or total calcium there is no close correlation.
