[Development of obstetrics at Knin Hospital after liberation in 1995].
The objective of this study is to present the development of obstetrics in the Knin General Hospital after military action "Storm" and consecutive liberation in 1995. Delivery register was used as the source of data in the period from liberation, i.e. from August 1995 to December 31, 1998. The number of medical visits during pregnancy, number and methods of deliveries and perinatal outcome are presented. Along with the improved organization of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the Knin General Hospital the number of visits during pregnancy increased from average 2.4 (0-4) in 1995 to 6.7 (2-13) in 1998. With return of the population, the number of deliveries increased from 18 in 1995 to 275 in 1998. Also, the number of Cesarean sections increased from 1 (5.6%) in 1995 to 18 (6.5%) in 1998, but the frequency is the same. Perinatal mortality was low, only one child died from twin pregnancy, as a fetal death because of cord prolapse. The results of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology from the Knin General Hospital are comparable with other modern centers which were not under war occupation, thanks to the great effort of the Ministry of Health and help of medical staff from Zagreb, Sisak, Sibenik, Bjelovar, Cakovec and the Knin General Hospital.
