[A perinatal mortality sample].
The Authors consider the cases of delivery occurred in the Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Parma University in the five-year period 1971-5 and the relative perinatal mortality. Whereas fetal mortality during labour has gone to be progressively reduced by the modern monitoring techniques, considerable importance is still attached to pre-partum fetal mortality. As a result of the examination of the causes, EPH Gestosis appears to be the most responsible one and the Authors emphasize its inadequate prophylaxis.
