[Systemic control in rural perinatal health care ("Triple Ten Management")].

Using "Triple Ten Management" as the basic method, we conducted research on a standard model of rural perinatal health care in our province. The "Triple Ten Management" includes: (1) controlling ten commonest high risk pregnancies; (2) application of ten perinatal monitoring techniques; (3) ten concerted managing regimes of rural perinatal care. Being verified in test points of 38 townships in 13 counties for one year, the model has been proved to be suitable for rural status and effective. The maternal mortality of the test points was reduced from 6.11/10,000 to 3.58/10,000; the perinatal mortality from 22.18% to 18.44% and the incidences of eclampsia and neonatal tetanus were also significantly reduced.
