The Immediate Results of Institutional Treatment.
Table LXV. Form T. 145 (G) of the Ministry of Health
summarises the immediate results of treatment of patients discharged
from institutions during the year. From this table it is
seen that among the Pulmonary cases 25.2% were classified as early
cases; the percentage of early cases receiving treatment in institutions
was in women, 10.5%; in men, 12.8%. 48.8% of the
total cases were intermediate cases, the males showing an excess
in this group—28.2% males to 20.6% females—and 25.9% were
definitely advanced. Of the total Pulmonary cases treated in
Institutions 78.5% were potentially infectious.
155 males, 105 females and 6 children, suffering from Pulmonary
Tuberculosis, were discharged from or died in Institutions
in connection with the Croydon Scheme during 1933.
