[Developmental trends in obstetrics at the Leipzig University-Gynecological Hospital since the existence of the German Democratic Republic].
An analysis of development in the obstetrics allows following comments: Peripartal and perinatal mortality shows a significant positive development. Maternal mortality has become very rare. The high percentage of approximately 10% of premature birth has a bad influence on the perinatal mortality. The intranatal mortality compared to ante- and post-natal could be sunk to a great extent. The eclampsia is observed very rarely. The reasons for the good results are to be seen not only in widening of indications of obstetrical operations but also in improvement of solicitude, prophylactical, diagnostical and conservative therapeutic measures.
