    Author: Böhmer W, Helmbold P.
    Journal: Zentralbl Gynakol; 1984; 106(13):939-46. PubMed ID: 6385558.
    Abstract:
    Before an effective obstetrics maternal mortality has to be estimated with 1-2 per cent and stillbirth-rate with about 5 per cent. 8-10 per cent of all lifeborn babies died during puerperium of their mothers. Development of obstetrics primarily caused a decreasing maternal mortality, which can be proved in the nineteenth century. After that perinatal losses could be reduced, too.
