The Logical Status of Case Histories

SummaryCase histories suitable for statistical evaluation can be found even as far back as in the Corpus Hippocraticum. Such simple data as the patient’s age, body weight, size, the date of menarche, etc. are practically always included in the case records, and it is demonstrated that, when such data are recorded in a system of documentation suitable for mechanical sorting, it may enable us to draw conclusions of very great importance. Mechanical registration methods have revealed that, in the determination and recording of data as hitherto carried out. there has been a surprisingly large number of errors and a high degree of unreliability. This view has a considerable influence on modern clinical methods; it renders a more democratic relation between physician and patient necessary and makes clear the need for measures to enhance the reliability of diagnosis and treatment of pathological conditions. The author illustrates this view with reference to the mechanical falsification of the thesis of the proneness of early age groups to lupus vulgaris, furthermore with reference to the mechanical rationalization of modern routine diagnostic methods, to the constant surveillance of adverse effects on public health and to the protection against allergic reactions with the aid of recording systems of personal allergy and intolerance data with mechanical sorting and computer techniques.

Complications And Mortality

In order to include innovative technologies in clinical recommendations, confirmation of their clinical effectiveness in comprehensive treatment of burned patients is necessary. 1,696 case histories of patients with burns were audited, which are divided into two groups depending on peculiarities of treatment. The use of innovative treatment technologies for burned patients has reduced the incidence of burn disease complications and mortality. Introduction of innovative technologies in treating burned patients into broad clinical practice improves results of provision of specialized, high-tech medical care for victims of burns.

Anatomical Changes

A statistical analysis of the syphilis incidence in Moscow and regions from 2006 to 2017 was carried out. Despite a decrease in the general syphilis incidence an increase in incidence of such severe forms as late neurosyphilis and cardiovascular syphilis was observed. We analyzed 1,600 archive case histories of inpatients and outpatients of the Sechenov University clinics in Moscow and identified the specific lesions in heart tissues, blood vessels and the nervous system. in literal data a relatively small number of cardiosyphilis cases was described. it can be explained by the fact that earlier only gummas, that are rarely to be located in the heart and difficult to be identified clinically, were considered to be the only specific pathological and anatomical changes for syphilis of the heart.
