The Immediate Results of Institutional Treatment.
Table XIX. 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 28.5% were classified as early cases:
the percentage of early cases receiving treatment in institutions
was in women, 10.3%; in men, 14.2%; 51.2% of the total cases
were intermediate cases, the males showing an excess in this
group—28.5% males to 22.6% females—and 20.1% were definitely
advanced. Of the total Pulmonary cases treated in Institutions
73.8% were potentially infectious.
111 males, 83 females and 9 children, suffering from Pulmonary
Tuberculosis, were discharged from or died in Institutions
in connection with the Croydon Scheme during 1938.
