STATISTICAL REPORT FOR THE QUIN-
QUENNIAL PERIOD, 1912—1916.
WE propose this year to review the statistics relating to persons
treated at this Institute during the years 1912—1916.
The total number of such cases amount to 22,519, so that in
the main such results as may be obtained may be taken as a close
approximat on to the truth.
It has been found that in dealing with annual figures numbering
between four and five thousand cases fluctuations of considerable
magnitude are still apparent, and it was expected that, taking the
quin-quennium as a whole, these fluctuations would disappear. The sub
- d i v i s i o n o f t h e c a s e s a s d e t a i l e d i n t h e f o l l o w i n g t a b l e s i s , h o w e v e r , o f s o
fine a character that even with this large number absolute regularity
has not been attained.
Of the total of 22,519 persons treated, 20,509 were Indians and most
of our investigation will be confined to these alone. Our reason for so
doing is an obvious one. Many Europeans who come for treatment run
no risk whatever, and consequently dilute the statistics, whilst in general
it may be said that, so far as we can judge, the life of the Indian is
definitely at risk in the actuarial sense of the term.
The system of card indexing in use was inaugurated in 1911 by
Major W. F. Harvey, at that time Director of this Institute, and with
the exception of Table IX the tables are of practically the same form
as those which he compiled for that year.
The thorough nature of the classification which he devised both on
cards and in the tables has rendered this statistical examination possible,
and this report is merely to be considered as an attempt to interpret
some of the data which he set himself to extract.
Table IX first appeared in our report for the year 1915, and was
commenced for reasons which will appear later. In this case the figures
for the earlier years have been obtained directly from the cards. With
regard to the other tables figures for total cases have been taken from
the published reports, whilst those for fatal cases have been recounted
from the cards.
( 21 )
22
It will be seen - that some errors have crept in, but the resulting
differences are of so low an order that a recount of all the cards has not
been considered necessary.
The method of treatment in use throughout the entire period was
that of a 14 days' course of carbolized fixed virus, prepared as described
by Sir David Semple in No. 44 of the Scientific Memoirs of the Govern
-ment of India.
With these preliminary remarks we may proceed to a discussion of
the results emerging from the tables, and from such additional data as
we have been able to extract.
For convenience we have numbered each table for the quinquennial
period with the Roman form of the same number as is employed for that
table in the annual reports.
The discussion of the data available may conveniently be taken
under the following heads:—
1. Facts relating to prevalence of the disease in India.
2. The influence of various factors on the mortality of rabies.
3. The influence of various factors on its incubation period.
4. Statistical evidences of the benefits of the treatment.
It is to be understood that the population with which we have to
deal consists of persons who have been admitted for treatment to the
Institute, and that such conclusions as we may arrive at do not
necessarily apply to the untreated.
1. FACTS RELATING TO THE PREVALENCE OF RABIES IN INDIA.
General Prevalence. —Owing to the continued expansion of the
sphere of influence of this Institute amongst the indigenous population
no information as to the general prevalence of the disease in India can be
obtained from a study of Indian statistics. The European population
may, however, be taken as free from this perturbation, as it consists,
for the most part, of an educated public with ready access to the press.
An examination of the figures recorded for Europeans treated at the
Institute since its inauguration in 1900 and of the deaths which occurred
amongst them should afford evidence of any tendencies towards increase
or decrease, that is to say of any variation in the annual prevalence.
These figures are recorded in Table I (page 2), and it will, we think,
be evident that there is no evidence of any change in the general prevalence
of rabies in India during the past 16 years.
We have dealt with this problem more fully in our report for the.
year 1914, to which reference is invited.
