Abstrakt		Introduction: In Slovenia, transport in utero (TIU) has been a formally established form of perinatal transport (PET) ever since 1984. Despite this fact data collection is still deficient. We have wished to introduce a computerised TIU database and connect it to the National Perinatal Information System database (NPIS) to provide us with more data, facilitate their accessibility, and to become the foundation for long-term analyses. Methods: On the basis of forms used so far we made a computer programme and form No.l and since 1997 we have been entering in it data on TIU to the Ljubljana Maternity Hospital, Division of Perinatology, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University Medical Centre in Ljubljana (LMH). We have used data from this TIU database to process the first 191 cases of TIU included in the database. Results: TIU database connected with NPIS was established. Ninety-one percent of TIU were necessary and on time. Considering that the rate of TIU is almost twice as high as in Finland, for example, this indicates that in Slovenia high risk pregnant women are recognized too late, and consequently they are also directed to an adequate level of care too late. Conclusions: To ensure concurrent collection of data on TIU and faster data feedback it is necessary to establish a computer link among various maternity hospitals and using a uniform form No.2 which we propose here. Filling in this form would start in the regional maternity hospital, to be continued during transport and in the LMH, and concluded when the mother and baby leave the hospital to go home. We are planning to connect the postnatal transport (PNT database) and the during transport events (transport database) databases with NPIS also. In this way we shall create a perinatal transport (PET database) which would become the foundation for long-term analyses.
