Abstract: In upstate New York, birth certificates of all babies born in hospitals include response to a question on procedures used in fetal monitoring. During the first 6 mth of 1978, some form of monitoring was reported on 47% of all live births in hospitals, 33.6% being monitored externally. The primary cesarean section rate in monitored women was over twice that among those not monitored.
