    Abstract:
    A group of 383 women with pregnancy risks were screened at the onset of labour. 70% of the EPH-Gestosis, 56% of the urinary tract infections and cervical incompetence, 48% of the anaemias, 38,6% of the premature labour, 11% of the hypotension and 4% of the antepartal haemorrhages were found still to be present at the onset of labour. In those women with EPH-Gestosis at the onset of labour, the risk of cesarean section was markedly higher. When the risks premature contractions and cervical incompetence were recorded, the resulting birth weights were lower and the necessity for intensive paediatric care higher than normal. EPH-Gestosis and urinary tract infections which were still present at the onset of labour were of a longer duration. If the risks premature contractions and cervical incompetence were present at the onset of labour one could imply a shorter period of gestation.
