title: [The significance of continuous fetal monitoring for further lowering of perinatal morbidity. Pilot study].
abstract: By means of a pilot study we tried to calculate the perinatal morbidity after continuous fetal monitoring. From 810 electronical and biochemical monitored high-risk babies in the period from 1971 to 1973 we checked and/or have investigated 685 risk-newborns. Thereby 87 (=12,7%) were premature newborns. From this 685 risk-newborns 14 (=2,04%) appeared conspicuous. Only by 7 of them (=1,02%) we found mental and/or physical retardation. 2 of this children have a cerebral palsy. Causes of retardation with and without cerebral palsy we could lead back in the perinatal period. The causes are discussed. We point to the urgency of comprehensive follow-up studies.
