[A method of evaluating self-monitoring at home during pregnancy]
All women of 30 gestational weeks in six hospitals in Shanghai during the period from January 1 to December 31 1987, were systematically and randomly divided into a study group of 6,506 for Self-Monitoring at home and a control group of 6,500. The observations showed that: the perinatal mortality rate was 6.30% in the study group and 10.92% in the control group; the fetal death rate was 3.23% and 6.34% respectively. The difference between the rates of the 2 groups was of statistical significance. The acceptability of this study was 92.5%. The above results suggested that self-monitoring at home during pregnancy is a simple, convenient and inexpensive method which does not require costly or precision instrument. It is also a relatively efficient method for mass screening of intrauterine fetal asphyxia, especially important for high risk pregnant women.
