Absence from school; its relationship to illness in the community.

The absences at one elementary school in Los Angeles and the reasons for the absences during the school year 1954-55 were studied. The absence rate was then compared with the rates during two previous years at the same school and with the absences at three other elementary schools in Los Angeles and with one industry. There were similar absence curves for the several years in the single school and among the schools and industries which were compared. The highest absence rates were found during the winter months and common respiratory tract disease accounted for the highest percentage of absences from school throughout the year.

Retrolental fibroplasia; a reduction in incidence following a decrease in use of oxygen therapy for premature infants.

The incidence of retrolental fibroplasia in a general hospital for the period January 1952 to January 1955 was reviewed and it was noted that a sharp decrease in incidence was associated with a reduction in the intensity of oxygen therapy. Retrolental fibroplasia developed most frequently in the smallest premature infants and no cases occurred in infants weighing more than 2,000 gm. at birth.
