The validity of the atropine test. 1976

G Carlomagno, and R Pezzullo, and M C Sabbati, and G P Mandruzzato

In order to evaluate the clinical validity of the so-called "atropine test", it has been performed in 83 women in their 35th to 43rd week of pregnancy. A statistical evaluation of the data has shown a serious limitation of both diagnostic and prognostic possibilities of the test; this can be attributed to the great variability of maternal environments.
