In Chicago, except for infants born in the Michael Reese Hospital, of which the Sarah Morris Hospital for Children is a division, over 90 per cent of the 6,627 premature infants sent to the Sarah Morris Hospital for Children are brought in by a specially equipped ambulance. A total of 1,825 (27.5 per cent) died; of these deaths 55.6 per cent occurred within twenty-four hours and another 14 per cent between twenty-four and forty-eight hours after the infants were received in the station.
