[Problem of causative relation between pregnancy interruption and following premature termination of pregnancy]

On the basis of the case material of the Universitäts-Frauenklinik Jena, in a prospective investigation 524 women with an interruption in 1972 are investigated for subsequent premature births and abortions. In a second study we retrospectively analyzed the anamnestic data of 133 females whose pregnancies in 1974 ended with a premature birth. The results presented in tables are compared with suggestions from literature.
