The authors think that perinatal mortality can be substantially reduced by accurate evaluation of chronic fetal distress by means of ultrasonic biometry routinely applied to pregnant women at each consultation and a Doppler examination carried out whenever retardation is detected or in any abnormal situations which could lead to such retardation. The authors present their experience in 353 women followed-up in their Service.
