The death-rate among men in the Medical College Hospital Proper was 15.77
per cent., against 9 . 90 in the previous year, the increase being due to the admis-
sion of a larger number of cholera and plague cases, and to a greater number of
operations performed on patients admitted in a very precarious and almost
hopeless condition. The rate of mortality among male children was nearly
doubled, the figures having been 26 . 49 per cent., against 13 . 92 in 1898.
The Principal says that many cases were received in the last stage of disease
and in a hopeless condition. The striking variation in the death-rate is observed
among females at the Mayo Native Hospital, where it rose from 8 . 13 in 1898
to 21 . 46 per cent. in 1899. This rise is accounted for by the admission of a
larger number of cholera cases, most of whom were pilgrims from Puri on the
way to or from the " car " festival, at which there was a great outbreak of that
disease. The rate of mortality among female children varies considerably in
the different hospitals, but averages are misleading when small numbers are dealt
with, as in the Mayo Native and Sambhu Nath Pandit Hospitals. The rise in
the death-rate among male children at the Eden Hospital from 20 . 77 to 37.87
per cent. in 1899 is noticeable. This greater fatality was partly due to the
severer nature of their ailments and partly to the admission of many boys
in a hopeless condition. The differences in other hospitals do not call for any
special comment.
21. The following table shows the principal diseases and the number and
percentages of deaths among in-patients. The diseases of both in- and out-
patients are shown in statement No. II in the Appendix.
