    Journal: Geburtshilfe Frauenheilkd; 1979 Dec; 39(12):1048-51. PubMed ID: 118075.
    Abstract:
    A retrospective cost benefit analysis is initiated for the program to improve the perinatal mortality and morbidity in Austria which was started by the Federal Ministry for Health and Environment in 1974. Based on the official registry of birth in Austria the expenses for the intensive maternity care and delivery are calculated. From 1974-1978 the perinatal mortality of 2,514 children was prevented. It is assumed that for each prevented case of perinatal mortality two cases of cerebral damage were prevented. The benefit is calculated as alternative cost. The comparison of cost and benefit showed an approximate balance.
