[The classification of newborn infants with reference to length of gestation and birth weight].

Classification of newborns by birth weight and length of gestation has proved to meet both clinical and scientific demands. Classification by these criteria was applied to 16,888 newborns at the Regional Hospital of Schwerin, Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, between 1969 and 1977. Particular attention was given to statistical treatment of the inhomogeneous group of infants of low birth weight. Analysis of this kind is proposed at national level, depending on improvement of postpartum diagnosis.

[Are unmarried pregnant women candidates for high risk delivery regarding low birth weight? (author's transl)].

Evidence has been produced to higher risk for unmarried pregnant women to deliver children with low birth weight, with reference being made to the files of the Gynaecological Hospital of the Region of Schwerin and, more particularly, to single live births, between 1969 and 1977. That higher risk was found to depend on other factors, as well, with particular emphasis on residence and occupation. The risk, however, was found to be lowered, when it came to second births and decline in the rate of low birth weight, in the context of unmarried mothers. Yet, the decline was less strong, as compared to married mothers, and the risk associated with unmarried women, consequently, remains to be regularly 60 per cent above average. These findings are considered by the authors as being relevant to supervision and guidance of women during pregnancy.

[Relationships between interruption abortion, and premature birth and low birth weight (author's transl)].

Polydimensional retrospective studies were conducted into correlations between interruption of pregnancy, abortion, and premature birth of infants weighing less than 2,501 g, on the one hand, and the general phenomenon of low birth weight, on the other. Reference was made to parity. The studies were undertaken over a period between 1969 and 1977. The birth total investigated was 17,076, stillbirths and twins excluded.-The impact of all factors involved as well as the statistical significance were tested and verified by calculation of information measure 2-I, followed by an approximative chi 2-test. The results suggested that the parameters studied were of somewhat staggered impact upon low birth weight. Premature birth, interruption of pregnancy, and abortion was the order of impact at all parity levels studied.

[Induced abortion in primigravidae and subsequent pregnancy, with particular consideration of underweight (author's transl)].

Attention was given to the relationship between induced abortion in primigravidae and the course as well as outcome of subsequent pregnancy. Reference is made to the women hospitalised for childbirth in the obstetric ward of the Regional Hospital of Schwerin, between 1969 and 1977. Chi-square testing revealed highly significant differences between women with preceding legal abortion, on the one hand, and those without, on the other, with regard to birth weight of the newborn, duration of pregnancy, cervical insufficiency, need for cerclage, imminent abortion, morbidity during pregnancy inside and outside hospital, and the need for using shute forceps on delivery. No difference was established regarding the occurrence of Rh incompatibility, pyelonephritis of the pregnant women, iron deficit anaemia, and gestosis during pregnancy.

[Polydimensional studies into frequency of "infants of low birth weight", with reference to age, parity, and occupation (author's transl)].

Retrospective polydimensional studies were conducted into correlations between age, parity, and occupation (social status) of gravidae, on the one hand, and deliveries of "infants of low birth weight", on the other. The reference group amounted to 16.729 newborns, twins and stillbirth excluded, with 5.85 per cent of those newborns with low birth weights up to 2,500 g. Included in the above figure are all newborns delivered in the Regional Hospital of Schwerin, between 1969 and 1977.--Any single factor quoted, age, parity, and occupation, was found to affect birth weight, effects being by the following order: parity, age, occupation.

[Multidimensional investigations to elucidate relationships between case histories of interruption of pregnancy and premature deliveries and low birth weight (author's transl)].

Multidimensional retrospective studies were conducted into possible correlations between case histories of induced abortion and premature deliveries, on the one hand, and deliveries of "children with low birth weight", on the other, with reference being made to the ordinal number of birth. Included were 13,287 single newborns, after mothers with twins, stillbirths, and abortion records had been excluded. "Children with low birth weight" up to 2,500 g accounted for 5.4 per cent of these newborns. The investigation was complete, in that all newborns were examined in the obstetric department of the Regional Hospital of Schwerin, between 1969 and 1977. Records of premature delivery and induced abortion were found to play a great epidemiological role in the context of "children with low birth weight" up to 2,500 g, but the general trend for such children for the period under review had remained unaffected by the Free Medical Abortion Act of 1972. Nevertheless, mothers with previous abortions during the period studied contributed to a moderate rise of the total number of "newborns with low birth weight".

[Propensity of alcoholics to develop epileptic seizures].

The frequency of cerebral cramp-seizures of alcoholics is higher as stated in literature. Alcoholics with a withdrawal syndrome are liable to cerebral cramp-seizures. A cerebral cramp-seizure indicates an unfavourable prognosis of the disease.

[Relationship between employment and the birth of low-birthweight infants].

In the period from 1969 to 1976 there born 14.368 living single infants with known duration of pregnancy in the gynecological clinic of the district hospital of Schwerin.--By means of this material was proved, if there is a relation between professional activity and the birth of "infants of low birth weight".--For some professional groups such a relation could be demonstrated.

[The apgar value of the newborn and its prognostic value for the course of the neonatal period].

The prognostic value of the postnatal Apgar-score to the course of the neonatal period. It is impossible to determine exactly vital functions of the infant postnatal sole with a number. However we are the opinion, that Apgar-score is valid for the first clinical classification of the neonate. We studied 6780 newborn from 6 large towns of the GDR. Two thirds of the cases were selected with risk. The Apgar-score from 1 minute postnatal was correlated to findings of clinical investigation, diagnostic and therapy during the neonatal period from 2 hours postnatal to 8 days. Interesting correlations are found between the Apgar-score from 1 minute postnatal to: color of the skin (pale or pink), cyanosis, type of respiration, stridor, posture, crying, X-ray findings of the lung, need of buffer and oxygen therapy and neonatal death. Summarizing we found correlations of clinical value between the postnatal Apgar-score and the later respiratory function.
