[Tuberculosis statistics by sectional data]
Abstract:
Analysis of sectional schedules and autopsy protocols for 1,061 persons who died of tuberculosis in Saint Petersburg in 1984-1991 has provided data on the age and sex distribution of the victims, the distribution of various types of tuberculosis as the underlying or concomitant disease, on the incidence and pattern of its complications, concurrent and competitive abnormalities and the causes of death. Comparison of previous results of the previous studies made regularly since 1981 has revealed stable and labile statistical parameters that characterize the evolution of tuberculosis as a disease, its pathomorphism in Saint Petersburg over the past century.
