[Results in the documentation for pregnancy surveillance].

Some results from the pregnancy surveillance booklet documentation are discussed in this paper. These results were gained on the basis of data from a representative random sample taken in Rheinland-Pfalz in 1977. Unfortunately, the risk factors section in the pregnancy surveillance booklet does not receive sufficient medical documentation. Apparently, its structure is too complex and its second part is not on the proper place. Contrary to the risk factor check list, which has been answered poorly, the entry of the observations on the course of the pregnancy obviously has carried out regularly. Only half of the pregnant women take advantage of at least 10 preventive medial examinations. Frequency of these examinations and date of the first medical examination in pregnancy depend on social conditions. In case of unfavourable general conditions pregnant women go less often, and later, to the prenatal examinations and the state of health of the new-born child depends on the "social strata" factor. Seen especially from the viewpoint of a greater centralization in obstetrics, the measures taken in prenatal care should be decentralized and varied and should include a revision of the pregnancy surveillance booklet.

[Pregnancy in teenagers (author's transl)].

In this study pregnancy, delivery and the newborn infant of 151 juvenile primiparas and 1034 adolescent primiparas were analyzed and were compared with a group of 3563 primiparas 21, 23 and 25 years of age. Regarding the obstetric history and the intrapartum period there was no increase incidence of complications among the young patients, however we found among the older women an increase in the incidence of operative deliveries. In the postpartum period it was noted that the young primiparas had a higher incidence of postpartum bleeding caused by atonia of the uterus and also an increased incidence of placental complications with a high rate of manual placental extraction and curettages. A positive correlation was found between premature birth and perinatal mortality and the younger the age of the mother. The newborn of the young mothers was also lighter and shorter at birth and had a higher incidence of malformations. This study has shown, that juvenile expectant mothers are a risk group for obstetricians and pediatricians.

[The importance of ultra-sound cephalometry for the prediction of the date of delivery--a contribution to the assessment of duration of pregnancy (author's transl)].

On the basis of some statistical data ultrasound cephalometry for the prediction of term is discussed. These data should be considered when providing socalled test-graphs. The usefulness of the author's own standard graph is examined. Prediction with the biparietal diameter is not much less exact than after the rule of Naegele. Accuracy of prediction can be much improved by using both methods together, starting from the averages of both.
