A Study of 10,000 Deliveries

This investigation has been undertaken with a view to making a study of the statistics of 10,000 deliveries in this hospital compared with similar statistics published in the Indian Medical Gazette and standard textbooks. For the purpose of this analysis the case-sheets of 10,000 parturient women with viable infants have been selected. As many of the women were \incertain of the date of the last menstrual period, and as the height of the uterus at the 28th week is variable, the' case-sheets of those women who gave birth to infants of less than 4 lb. in weight have been excluded, and multiple pregnancies omitted. Only the main denomination in compound presentations is mentioned.
