Mortality Pattern in Surgical Wards of a University Teaching Hospital in Southwest Nigeria: A Review
World Journal of Surgery, 2013Co-Authors: Babatunde A. Ayoade, Lateef O. Thanni, Olatunji Shonoiki-oladipupoAbstract:Background There are many reports from different parts of the world addressing different aspects of surgical Mortality. There are few reports from our country, however, and most of them have dealt with Mortality in the emergency room. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Mortality associated with surgical care and the trends in prevalence of surgical Mortality. We used our results as benchmarks to identify areas of improvement. Methods The records of all patients who died during admission for surgical care in Olabisi Onabanjo Teaching Hospital Sagamu between January 2006 and December 2010 were studied retrospectively. Relevant data were extracted, including demographics, surgical diagnosis, co-morbid conditions, length of hospital stay, surgical procedure performed, outcome of treatment, and date of death. Results were analyzed with Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 15. Results The total admission in the surgical wards for 2005–2010 was 5,444, with a total of 2,217 surgical operations carried out during the same period. There were 277 (5.09 %) deaths (165 male and 112 female patients). Of 277 deaths, only 170 case notes (61 %) were available for review. Primary causes of death were classified as cancer (50 deaths, 29.4 %), trauma (66, 38.8 %), infection/inflammatory (16, 9.4 %), and other (38, 22.4 %). Surgical operations were performed in 60 (35.3 %) of the patients who died. No surgery was done in 110 (64.7 %) of those who died. Conclusions The Pattern of surgical Mortality is not directly related to surgical procedures as most of the deaths occurred in the nonoperative care group. Trauma-associated deaths topped the list.

Species-specific spatial structure, species coexistence and Mortality Pattern in natural, uneven-aged Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.)-dominated forest
European Journal of Forest Research, 2018Co-Authors: Janusz Szmyt, Stefan TarasiukAbstract:Complexity of uneven-aged forests results from the heterogeneity of their structure reflected among others by the spatial Pattern of their components. Forest structure is usually modified by various processes operating at different scales and time. Structure and processes are not independent, and both are important drivers of forest dynamics. The impact of natural processes on forest structure manifested in the specific spatial Pattern of trees can be quantified by point Pattern analysis applied to long-term repeatedly measured stem-mapped plots. Such studies are relatively scarce in the literature although they provide better insight into the mechanisms affecting forest dynamics. Our study is focused on the spatiotemporal analysis of the structure of mixed uneven-aged Scots pine-dominated forest located at the Kampinoski National Park (Poland). Univariate analysis showed that the initial Pattern of all live trees was initially random and it shifted toward more uniform with forest aging. Spatial Patterns of individual tree species varied from that stated for all forest community. We observed changes in spatial Pattern of Scots pine and common oak from random toward more clumped (pine) or uniform (oak) Pattern. In case of black alder and common birch, the initial aggregated Pattern was maintained over the examined 14-year period of the forest succession. Bivariate analysis showed that the most common interspecific association between pairs of tree species was spatial segregation (pine vs. alder, alder vs. birch and oak vs. birch) followed by spatial independence (pine vs. oak and oak vs. alder). The positive association was stated only for pine and birch and only for certain spatial scales (> 5 m). Simultaneously, at small distances they showed reciprocal repulsion. Changes in spatial relationships between tree species were negligible over 14-year period of forest succession. Our results confirmed the density-dependent Mortality process in the uneven-aged Scots pine-dominated forest over 14-year period of forest development. Our study showed that spatial interactions between individuals along with species-specific ecological requirements should be incorporated into realistic models of forest development, helping to manage the forest ecosystems toward their greater structural complexity.

Mortality Pattern in Broilers at Selected Farms in Punjab
Journal of research, 2003Co-Authors: Gagandeep Singh, Naveen Sharma, S K Jand, R S BrarAbstract:The present investigation was undertaken to study the prevalence and Mortality Pattern in broilers at selected farms. The prevalence of omphalitis was maximum (0.14%) followed by CRD (0.66%), aflatoxicosis (0.41%), colibacillosis (0.39%), IBH (0.29%), coccidiosis (0.16%), aspergillosis (0.14%), HPS (0.14%), gangrenous dermatitis (0.11%), rickets (0.10%), IBD (0.08%) and gout (0.06%). Maximum Mortality was recorded in 1–2 weeks age groups and minimum in 6–7 weeks old birds. Aflatoxins were detected in the suspected feed samples. Various managemental problems were responsible for higher disease incidence at the farms. Based on these, various corrective measures were suggested. After adoption of proper managemental practices, a decreased disease incidence was observed in the subsequent flocks.

Mortality Pattern in a tertiary care teaching hospital in North Karnataka, India
International Journal Of Community Medicine And Public Health, 2019Co-Authors: Gowri Shankar, Eshwar B. KalburgiAbstract:Background: India is undergoing rapid epidemiological transition due to economic and social change. The Pattern of Mortality is a key indicator of the long term health effects. Mortality data indicates the health of the population under study. Hence this study was done to know the socio demographic profile and Mortality Pattern of all deaths in a tertiary care teaching hospital in North Karnataka, India.Methods: A one year retrospective study of all deaths in Hangal Sri Kumareshwar Hospital and Research Center, Navanagar, Bagalkot, Karnataka State, India was done of the year 2017, after ethical clearance and Institutional Review Board. The case records of all deaths from Medical Record Department were analyzed for socio demographic profile and Mortality Pattern. The deaths had been classified according to International Classification of Diseases-10th revision. Data was analyzed using percentages and chi-square test.Results: Out of 357 deaths in the year 2017, 214 (59.94%) were males and 143 (40.06%) were females. Maximum deaths were between 15 to 60 years of age contributing to 43.14% of the total followed by deaths in more than 60 years of age (35.29%). Non-communicable diseases contributed to 70.03% of the total deaths.Conclusions: Non communicable diseases are on the rise in the urban and rural communities of the study area. Preventive care is the need of the hour and it can be achieved through health education and screening of the high risk population.
