The Immediate Results of Institutional Treatment.
Table XVI. 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 25.1% were classified as
early cases; the percentage of early cases receiving treatment in
institutions was in women, 11.0%; in men, 12.5%; 51.3% of the
total cases were intermediate cases, the females showing an
excess in this group—24.0% males to 26.7% females—and 23.5%
were definitely advanced. Of the total Pulmonary cases treated
in Institutions 79% were potentially infectious.
99 males, 87 females and 5 children, suffering for Pulmonary
Tuberculosis, were discharged from or died in Institutions in
connection with the Croydon Scheme during 1934.
