MATERIALS AND

METHODS

72 female patients admitted to KMMP ICZMP in Łódź between January 1996 and December 2002 were put to the analysis (group I). The control group consisted of 400 random chosen female patients admitted to the Clinic during the examined period (group II). The course of the pregnancy, childbirth and the birth body weight of infants in both groups since 23rd week of the pregnancy were analysed. Mean age of the female patients in group I amounted 32 years (22-42), and in the group II 26 years (17-37). For the purposes of statistic analyse the test chi 2 was used.

RESULTS

In group I the patients presented significantly elder population then in the group II. The multiple pregnancies in the group I presented 32% and they occurred significantly more often then in the group II (2%). In the group I significantly statistically more often the cholestase (6.9%), the imminent premature childbirth (36%), the premature amniorrhoea (20.8%), the premature childbirth (22%), the isthmo--cervicalis insufficiency (6.9%) and the inhibition of the intrauterine foetus growth (11%) were affirmed. Statistically significantly more often the childbirth was ended with Caesarean section in the group I (47.2%) then in group II (17.8%). The infants with birth body weight less than 2500 g statistically significantly more often were born from group I (36.4%) then from group II (8.6%).
