title: [Is there a gestosis weather? Correlation of EPH gestosis with meteorologic conditions].
abstract: A historical survey on the subject of weather and eclampsy is given in the introduction, at the beginning of which the names Smellie (1752), Boutteilloux (1816), Lachapelle (1925) and Zangemeister (1900) are mentioned. In the ten-year report the gestosis indices according to Goecke (n = 56,461) in the grouping 0/I-III/ = greater than IV are correlated with six general weather situations in each of the four seasons. From the chi 2 component test according to Krauth a relevant chi 2 limit of 8,95 is established. Only the following four out of altogether (6 x 4 =) 24 weather situations prove to be associated with lower (I-III) and higher (= greater than 4) indices of gestosis. 1. Anticyclonic situations with central high in winter with indices of gestosis I-III; 2. cyclonic flow-patterns in autumn with indices of gestosis I-III; 3. situations with central low in summer with indices of gestosis = greater than IV; 4. low gradient cyclonic situations in summer with fewer indices of gestosis. In spring the indices groups do not reach or exceed the limit of significance in any of the six weather situations. The four weather situations connected with gestosis are demonstrated by means of typical examples of infrared and visual satellite photos. Summing up, the different valence of scientific evidence and clinic relevance of the results is indicated.
