[The roll-over test in clinical use and its significance in the early detection of hypertensive gestosis].

The roll-over-test introduced 1974 by Gant and coworkers was said to open new possibilities for prediction of gestational hypertension. The convincing results of these authors could not be reached by other study groups. The test was done in 115 pregnant women, mainly primigravidae, in the 28th gestational week. Based on our results we cannot recommended clinical use of the roll-over-test.
