title: [Cesarean section and perinatal mortality 1993-1996 in a regional perinatology center].
abstract: During the period between 1993-96 the authors made at the Second Gynaecological and Obstetric Clinic 1099 caesarean sections. The investigated group was subjected to frequency analysis. The relationship with perinatal mortality and early neonatal mortality was assessed. In a group of 287 caesarean sections in 1996 the authors analyzed indication spectra and maternal morbidity. The results were compared with data in the literature. From the assembled data ensues that although the rate of caesarean sections practically does not change, perinatal mortality decreased significantly. This positive result is due mainly to better perinatal and neonatological care. In the indications for caesarean section the authors did not reveal statistically significant deviations from nationwide average figures.
