title: [Obstetric problems specific to rural practice (author's transl)].
abstract: Certain obstetric problems which are peculiar to rural districts and are only rarely encountered in urban centres are discussed in this report on the basis of 1184 deliveries at a district hospital. The high age number of grand multiparae are particularly striking findings. Antenatal care is often inadequate-33.3% of all women had not consulted an obstetrician during the entire pregnancy. Attention is drawn to the relatively high incidence of home deliveries and the deplorable lack of information of the rural population with regard to all problems concerning pregnancy and delivery.
