DIPHTHERIA MORTALITY IN LARGE CITIES OF THE UNITED STATES IN 1940: EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT

DIPHTHERIA MORTALITY IN LARGE CITIES OF THE UNITED STATES IN 1940: EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT Abstract The data for this review have been obtained from the local health officers through the means outlined in the report on typhoid deaths.1 There was requested from each health department a statement of deaths from diphtheria both among residents and among nonresidents for each of the last eleven years, 1930 to 1940 inclusive. The death rates have been corrected on the basis of the 1940 census, provisional estimates for intercensual years having been furnished by the Bureau of the Census. No attempt has been made to correct the number of deaths reported prior to 1935. Special attention is directed to the use of symbols to indicate those cities in which either (1) all diphtheria deaths were stated to be in nonresidents or (2) one third or more of such deaths were stated to be in nonresidents.

Abstract

Abstract The data for this review have been obtained from the local health officers through the means outlined in the report on typhoid deaths.1 There was requested from each health department a statement of deaths from diphtheria both among residents and among nonresidents for each of the last eleven years, 1930 to 1940 inclusive. The death rates have been corrected on the basis of the 1940 census, provisional estimates for intercensual years having been furnished by the Bureau of the Census. No attempt has been made to correct the number of deaths reported prior to 1935. Special attention is directed to the use of symbols to indicate those cities in which either (1) all diphtheria deaths were stated to be in nonresidents or (2) one third or more of such deaths were stated to be in nonresidents. Table 11 lists the cities with no death in 1940, table 13 the References 1. Typhoid in the Large Cities of the United States in 1940 , J. A. M. A. 118:222 ( (Jan. 17) ) 1942.Crossref
