Social Medicine Studies based on Civilian Medical Board Records
Observations on 1,078 Perinatal Deaths
A cause of death is the morbid condition or other disease process, abnormality, or injury leading directly or indirectly to death ... From the standpoint of the prevention of deaths it is important to cut the chain of events or institute the cure at some point. The most effective public health objective, of course, is to prevent the precipitating cause from operating. For this purpose the most useful single statistic is that relating to the under…
Social Medicine Studies based on Civilian Medical Board Records
By the regular publication of statistics based on Census data and death certificates the General Register Office has kept the United Kingdom so well informed that even the man in the street is aware when mortality changes of a disquieting or reassuring nature have occurred. But nowadays, when disease more often causes loss of working efficiency than premature death, a more sensitive instrument than mortality statistics is needed to measure the pu…
Social Medicine Studies based on Civilian Medical Board Records
In a large sample of wartime Civilian Medical Board (C.M.B. passim) records it was found that 1 • 2 per cent, of the men examined were unfit for military service because of a peptic ulcer, and a fur0*25 per cent, because of other digestive disorders (Stewart, Webb, and Hewitt, 1955a). In addition to this loss of manpower at the screening stage there was a further heavy loss from the same causes among men accepted for military service : peptic ulc…

Mortality from caticer of the skin has been widely studied, but very little information is available concerning the prevalence of the less serious diseases…
Social Medicine Studies based on Civilian Medical Board Records
There were several reasons why it seemed appropriate to include in a study of the wartime records of Civilian Medical Boards a detailed analysis of varicose veins, varicocoeles, and haemorrhoids. These three types of abnormally distended veins are known to be common, but exactly how common they are and who is most likely to be affected are questions which have never been satisfactorily answered. Mild cases need no treatment, severe cases are noto…
