[Morbidity studies, following continuous electronic and biochemical monitoring of 1,000 childbirths (author's transl)].
A group of 1,000 electronically and biochemically monitored children of high-risk deliveries was examined for morbidity up to the age of one year.--Transfer to the Paediatric Hospital of Jena University had been necessary for 147 newborns for low weight and/or impaired adaptation. Sixteen of 18 neurologically conspicuous children, which had temporarily displayed electro-encephalographic or echo-encephalographic pathological or marginal findings, did no longer exhibit any neurological deficiency or signs of impaired intelligence, when re-examined after ten months. Only two children had severe disorders in terms of infantile cerebral paresis, one of them with a genetically determined disease (Morbus Langdon Down).--Incidence of infantile cerebral paresis dropped from more than three to something between one and two per cent owing the antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum intensive monitoring as well as to intensive neonatal care. It is assumed that this will act to decrease the number of children with mental retardation.
