“…show that the total impact of an induced abortion rate of 50% would amount to a 1 Incidentally, this finding is analogous to a quite different case, where it was concluded that changes in mortality should often be considered relative to the previous survival rate, rather than to the previous mortality rate (Sheps [15)). Assume that the proportion of induced abortions in a population changes from 5 to a new higher level, 5' in (3), while all other independent parameters remain constant.…”

A large part of early recognizable abortions is probably not included in reported data, even when medical care is obtained (Baumgartner et al [1]). Undoubtedly there are in addition many cases which never receive medical care.…”

“…The (2), the reporting of fetal deaths in municipal institutions was discussed with the director of the medical statistics and records service of the department of hospitals. As a result, the commissioner of hospitals approved an addition to the "Manual of Administrative Procedures" of that department, defining the situations where reports are required, outlining the reporting procedures, and prescribing follow-up measures by the hospital record room to assure that reports are made.…”
