|
|
33 cases of tetanus neonatorum, who were treated in our department during 4 years from January 1967 to December 1970, are analized with the following results.
1. The overall mortality rate was 48.5%.
2. the sex ratio (male to female) was 5.7:1.
3. Most of patient were delivered at home by a non-professional midwife, but there were two patients who were delivered at a local medical clinic.
4. The shorter the incubation period was, the worse the prognosis was.
5. The smaller the body weight of a patient was, the worse the prognosis was.
6. The body temperature below nomal and of high degree on admission of a patient was followed by bad prognosis.
7. the dosage of administered tetanus antitoxin seemed to display little influence on the prognosis.
8. In this analysis, the types and combination of administered sedatives, eg. phenobarbital alone, phenobarbital plus chlorpromazine, phenobarbital plus chloraldehyde, failed to reveal different influence in the prognosis.
