All high-risk gravidae with regard to prematurity and dysmaturity (PDP programme) were collected over a time-limited period. More than two thirds (n = 72) of these women were submitted to intensive care (PDP group); one third (n = 33) (control group) refused intensive care. Furthermore, socio-economic factors were taken into consideration in this study and appropriate classification into 4 groups was undertaken. Gravidae of a higher social class were more often willing to undergo intensive care than gravidae of a lower class. In the PDP group 75% of the gravidae were delivered after the end of the 36th gestational week and 51% of the gravidae in the control group. A similar relationship was found in regard to the birth weight of the newborn infants: in the PDP group 74.4% of the babies weighed over 2500 g at birth in contrast to the respective figure of 42.9% in the control group. However, this socio-economic study shows that the results of intensive care are much more successful in women from a lower social stata than in women from a higher social class.

Evaluation of multidimensional screenings within the prematurity-dysmaturity-preventive-programmes. We estimated the PDP-programmes recommended in literature. The result is discussed together with the analysis of our 6000 investigated cases. We found, that, the published scores, using many factors and basing on multidimensional regression or discriminant analysis, give not a satisfactory result in predicting birth of a newborn with low weight. If you wish predict right 90% of all low birth weight infants, your risk group contains about 50% of all pregnant women. If you wish to have only a trifling risk group of 10% of all pregnant women, you can predict right only about 50% of all infants with low birth weight. We recommend for practice to go an other way. We find it is better for prophylaxis and therapy of the threatened premature labour to diagnose and treat special risks as placenta praevia, multiple pregnancies, hemorrhage during pregnancy, smoking and anamnestic previous prematurity. The summarizing of risk points is to our opinion of minor importance. Only pregnant women with risks, which need expansive apparatus and specialists, should be sended for a perinatal center (Rh-incompatibility, hydramnious, suspicious malformation, severe intern diseases). Especially the diagnosis and therapy of genetic defects must be carried out in a center. About the possibility with genetic diagnostic to diminute the birth of impaired children of low weight is given a particular explanation.

According to Saling's Prematurity-Dysmaturity-Prevention Program (PDP-Program) all high-risk pregnancies in a time limited period were collected (n = 105). From these a group of 72 gravidae (PDP-group) were controlled by an intensive care-staff, a group of 33 gravidae (controll group) refused an intensive care. The initial situation of both groups was very similar. In the PDP-group 3 quarters of the gravidae delivered after the 36th week of gestation, in the control group the half of gravidae. In the PDP-group 1 quarter of the newborn infants had a birth-weight of less than 2 500 g, in the control group the half. The condition of the newborn infants were similar.
