[Assessment of occupational factors of influence on pregnancy]

This study has a clinical design. The aim is, to gather more information about professional influences on the negative outcome of pregnancy in form of abortion or malformation. We analysed 90 histological confirmed abortions of patients visiting a sterility consulting outpatients clinic and 343 malformations detected during postdelivery stay in the hospital. Each woman with abortion or malformated child was pair-matched with a referent pregnant woman in the same age and normal outcome of pregnancy, whose pregnancy or delivery was at the same time. Their professional exposure data arranged in different expositions have been compared. Women with abortions or malformated newborns were more often in a profession with a risk to health than the pairmatched women without abortions or malformated newborns. A proposal for attention to professional influences usable in a computer program of obstetric clinics is offered.
