Summary:Although fully aware of the limits of their method, the authors consider the study of estrone + estradiol/estriol relationship, all these hormones being assayed in the mother's plasma, as a valuable aid in the difficult surveillance of threatened premature birth, late gestosis and prolonged pregnancy. Indeed, when the value of the relationship shows to be below I, the threatened premature delivery has nearly always a favourable course toward its resolution. In late gestosis, the rate of the relationship satisfactorily correlates with the gestosis index of Rippmann and Goecke, thus permitting to establish true prognosis. Finally, in prolonged pregnancy a relationship below I nearly always indicates good fetal condition.
