title: [Macroscopic examination of the fresh placenta. Statistical analysis of 1,200 cases. Comparison with maternal and neonatal pathology].
abstract: We have examined 1,200 placentas in a fresh state and have compared the results of these examinations with maternal pathology on the one hand and the neo-natal pathology on the other hand. It turns out that most abnormalities of pregnancy are associated in a significant way with the pathological findings in the placenta, and that the good or pathological health of the newborn is significantly associated with the normal of pathological character of the placenta. The principal weakness in this method of examination is the absence of information about infection. This is why it seems important to us to carry out smears from the placenta before examining it macroscopically.
