The ratio of deaths in non-notified cases (i.e., columns to the
right of the double line) to total deaths from tuberculosis was 15
to 43 or 1 to 2.8.
Appropriate action was taken when necessary with regard to
non-notification.

and the number of registered deaths during the calendar year is
accounted for by transferable deaths and by cases not notified
prior to death.
