A comparison of qualitative and quantitative evaluation of cardiotocogram in the monitoring of high-risk pregnancy.
85 high risk pregnant women were evaluated by RIA of total estriol, unconjugated estriol and HPL by ultrasonic measurement of foetal BPD and by NST and Fischer's score. In all, 277 evaluations were made. The Authors found a good correlation between results of the cardiotocographic tests and levels of HPL and measurements of foetal BPD. A low correlation was noticed between the levels of total and unconjugated estriol and the characteristics of cardiotocography. The evaluation of the cardiotocographic tests, according to Lee and Coll., resulted better than according to Fischer's score. The contemporary qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the cardiotocograms seems to reduce significantly the false-positive results and to half the false-negative results of the other tests for foeto-placental function. Result were analysed.
