title: Blood pressure monitoring from a biostatistical and clinical viewpoint for predicting fetal distress in preeclamptic pregnancy.
abstract: With technological progress, blood pressure monitoring has become a procedure largely applied in medical practice but not adequately systematized under a biostatistical viewpoint. This paper shows the complexity and importance of the biomathematical approach and its clinical implications in preeclamptic pregnancy. Data series were analyzed by means of noninferential and inferential procedures of biostatistics. A progressive gain of information is obtained, the inferential procedures showing an analytical resolution able to discriminate fetal distress in preeclamptic pregnancy.
