Extract: A prospective survey of 1029 women delivered during 1976 at St. Bartholomew's Hospital was undertaken to assess the predictive value of a variety of clinical, ultrasonic, and biochemical variables in the detection of high risk pregnancies. The best antenatal predictors of fetal risk were severe pre eclampsia, depressed maternal serum levels of human placental lactogen, low maternal weight at 32 weeks' gestation, and heavy smoking by the mother. Tables show statistics.
