In order to see whether the pattern of referral of pregnant women, intervention during labour and transport of neonates had changed over a 10-year period, we investigated these variables in the women who gave birth at our department of surgery in 1978, 1981 and 1988. The numbers of women were 790, 630 and 697 respectively for the three years, and the corresponding numbers of neonates transferred to the neonatal unit were 56, 44 and 53 respectively. The frequencies of risk pregnancies increased from 20% in 1978 to 37.7% in 1999, (p < 10(-6) and the frequency of primiparity increased from 43% to 51.2% over the same period (p < 10(-5)). More women underwent elective caesarean section due to an increased number of breech presentation in nulliparous women (p < 10(-3)). The frequency of induction of labour decreased from 21.7% to 16.5% (p < 10(-6)). The perinatal mortality ranges between 0% to 0.48% during the 10 years, and the rates of transfer of neonates to the neonatal unit were unchanged (7.1-7.6%). It is concluded that changes in referral and composition of the population had no influence on the incidence of acute intervention in labour or rate of neonatal transfer.
