After analysing the present practice and describing their experience in 111 caesarean sections, the authors present a new scoring test for evaluation of the degree of the risk from infectious inflammatory complications after caesarean section and implementation of selective antibiotic prophylaxis in accordance with the evaluation. An attempt is made to classify separate factors according to their significance for development of inflammatory complications during the post partial period. The results, schematized on table 1 and figure 1 in the article, illustrate the practical benefit from the test in the prophylaxis of infectious inflammatory complications after caesarean section.
