Classification of the 2,557,035 diagnoses made in 1,168,139 different patients at the Los Angeles County General Hospital in the period 1918-48 has been compiled according to the new International List of Causes of Diseases and Death. Similar tabulation of the 377,776 diagnoses made in the 112,409 patients who died while in the hospital reflects the fatality rates associated with these diagnoses. Striking differences are shown in the incidence and fatality rates in the various conditions and great changes have occurred in both during this time. Defects and sources of error in these data are recognized, but they offer a wealth of valuable material for further study and interpretation.

Diseases and deaths; a statistical survey of 40,130 autopsies at the Los Angeles County General Hospital, 1918 to 1948. II.

The 215,468 diagnoses recorded in 40,130 autopsies on patients treated at the Los Angeles County General Hospital during the 30 years between 1918 and 1948 were reviewed and tabulated. The primary causes of death as determined by the pathologists in these cases were recorded and the incidence of death from each disease in relation to the number of cases in which each occurred was computed. The age, sex and race distribution of patients examined postmortem and the incidence and fatality rates from various pathological conditions changed greatly during the period, owing to many factors, among them changes in elements of the population served by the hospital, an increasing incidence of older patients, and medical triumph over some formerly formidable diseases.
