[System of decision support in obstetrics. The computerization of prenatal consultations]

The aim of this study was to realize a prototype of a computer-aided decision support for prenatal visits. He has been developped on a microcomputer. We used procedural programming to represent the medical knowledge. This prototype has several interfaced units: a computerized prenatal record, the computing of quantitative variables (term, fetal biometry, uterine height) and the two computer-aided units (preterm births and modelization of weight gain during pregnancy). The next step will be the medical evaluation of this computer-aided decision support in obstetrics.
