Perinatal deaths due to EPH gestosis which occurred in Glasgow during 1970 were studied. There was a high frequency of perinatal deaths among babies born to primigravidae below the age of 20 years and to mothers with proteinuria. The majority of the deaths occurred in babies weighing less than or equal to 2,500 g. It is suggested that some of the deaths were avoidable and that a further reduction in perinatal mortality can still be achieved.
