title: [Comparison of the effectiveness of Partusisten and ethanol tocolysis. II. Short-term tocolysis with Partusisten or ethanol].
abstract: A prospectively randomised study for treatment of premature labor either by Partusisten or ethanol short term tocolysis was done in the years 1981 to 1983. The tocolysis was successful in 54 per cent (Partusisten) respectively 50 per cent (ethanol) by reaching a birth weight 2,500 g. 36 per cent respectively 37 per cent pregnant women reached 37th gestational week. Prolongation index 21 or more allows to predict a birth weight of 2,500 g or more. Success score 12 is not identical with corresponding birth weight. Ethanol tocolysis is an alternative to Partusisten treatment.
