A series of nearly a thousand cases was delivered in a municipal hospital under strictly conservative obstetrics with a total operative incidence of less than 10 per cent, a cesarean section incidence of 0.6 per cent, an uncorrected maternal mortality of 0.4 per cent, and an uncorrected morbidity of 7.7 per cent. If we eliminate the cases of ruptured uterus and fulminating eclampsia (both outside cases which were brought to the hospital in extremis), our mortality was only 0.2 per cent. If we eliminate all non-obstetric causes our morbidity rate was 5 per cent. |
