[Vaginalcytology and late pregnancy (determination of term, fetal monitoring, correlation with hormon patterns) (author's transl)].

The "before term" pattern allows to exclude over-maturity with probability of 95--100%. The "at term" pattern lets expect spontaneous labour in next five days just so with great probability. We attribute no importance to cytology as a method of control for high risk pregnancies. At last we didn't find any correlation with statistical methods between the alterations of the cell patterns some days before delivery and values of hormons.
