title: [Attempted analysis of the progressive development of prematurity between 1980 and 1985 at the maternity hospital in Haguenau].
abstract: The recent increase of premature births has led the authors to conduct an exhaustive, prospective investigation from computerized data, including 8,618 pregnant women who delivered at the Maternity Hospital in Haguenau between January 1980 and December 1985. Their results disclose a significantly increased ratio of premature births in the gravida I group and in women with a primary level of education, who were followed by a general practitioner. On the other hand, the ratio of premature births at 34 weeks and less, is also increased in people followed by a general practitioner, which is not the case for induced prematurity. These results, although preliminary, prompt the consultant to reconsider primary prevention in these groups with particular risks.
