Factors influencing early perinatal mortality in a rural district hospital.

Early perinatal mortality (EPM) was prospectively analysed in a rural District Hospital during a 4 month period. 2,171 deliveries were recorded with an early perinatal mortality rate (EPMR) of 53/1000. Factors significantly influencing EPM included maternal age, education, marital and socio-economic status.

An economic profile of American older women.

This literature review examines the economic status of American women age 65 and older in view of their longevity, employment patterns, sources of income, income levels, potential for poverty, and their economic stake in current public policy debates and actions regarding Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and SSI. Although women live longer and therefore must stretch their financial resources further than men, longevity is not the sole cause of their economic vulnerability. Rather, it is associated with historical patterns of economic dependence on men; with sporadic, often low-wage or none

Liver abscesses in feedlot cattle: a review.

Liver abscesses in slaughtered beef cattle result from aggressive grain-feeding programs. The incidence, averaging from 12 to 32% in most feedlots, is influenced by a number of dietary and management factors. Liver abscesses represent a major economic liability to producers, packers, and ultimately consumers. Besides liver condemnation, economic impacts include reduced feed intake, reduced weight gain, decreased feed efficiency, and decreased carcass yield. Fusobacterium necrophorum, a member of the ruminal anaerobic bacterial flora, is the primary etiologic agent. Actinomyces pyogenes is the

Risk factors for obstructive sleep apnoea in Australian children.

AIM: This study aims to determine whether demographic or clinical factors predict obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) severity in Australian children. METHODS: Demographic details and medical histories of 301 Australian children (3-17 years old) referred for assessment of OSA were examined retrospectively. Children underwent overnight polysomnography and were classified as having primary snoring (PS) (obstructive apnoea hypopnoea index (OAHI) ≤ 1 event per hour; n = 150), mild OSA (>1 OAHI ≤ 5 events per hour; n = 76) or moderate/severe (MS) OSA (OAHI > 5 events per hour; n = 75).

Clinical uses of plasma and plasma fractions: plasma-derived products for hemophilias A and B, and for von Willebrand disease.

The use of plasma-derived factor products to treat hemophilia A, hemophilia B, and von Willebrand disease (vWD) has changed since the start of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic. The use of plasma-derived factor concentrates for hemophilias A and B has decreased in developed countries because of the availability of recombinant products. However, in developing countries, which encompass most of the world's hemophilia community, plasma-product-based therapy remains the backbone of treatment because of economic constraints. Viral attenuation strategies have resulted in a much safer p

Establishing a cost estimation model for hypertension and its related diseases in Taiwan.

Chronic diseases are responsible for significant economic losses related to direct costs of medical care, as well as indirect costs arising from lost productivity. To optimize the use of limited health care resources, there is a need to establish a comprehensive index to establish the priorities for funding of health programs for chronic diseases. In this study, we applied the population attributable risk proportion (PAR) model to estimate the economic burden imposed by hypertension and its related diseases in Taiwan in 1991. Data were collected from published statistical reports and research

[Newborn screening for congenital hypothyroidism and congenital adrenal hyperplasia: Benefits and costs of a successful public health program].

Newborn screening is an important public health program and a triumph of preventive medicine. Economic analyses show that the benefits of newborn screening clearly outweigh the costs for certain diseases, but not necessarily for other ones. This is due to the great diversity of the natural history of the diseases detected, to the fact that each of these diseases considered individually is rare, and to differences in the effectiveness of interventions. In addition, the benefit-cost ratio of screening for a particular disorder may differ between countries, specifically between high-income and lo
