To measure the birth registration rate and the validity of birth registration data in rural area, all of the 4,014 married women under 49 years of age who had not been sterilized in Gunwee county of Kyungpook province were followed by Myun health workers for 2 years from April 1, 1985 to March 31, 1987 and 766 births were detected. All of the birth registration records of Myun offices were reviewed on September 30, 1987 and 944 births which occurred within the above mentioned period were found. Actual birth date obtained by follow-up study were compared with the birth date on registration card. Among 766 births detected by follow-up study, 576 births(75.2%) which were reported within 6 months after birth were ascertained on the official registration records and 96 births(12.5%) were not found on the records although mother stated that the birth was registered. The registration rate within legal due date was 61.3% among 576 births detected by follow-up study and also ascertained on the official records. The registration rate within legal due date was lower in mothers under 20 years of age and above 35 years and in mothers who had only primary education. It was decreased as the birth order increased. The registration rate was higher in births occurred from October to March than births occurred from April to September. All of the births of 7 neonatal deaths were not reported. The registered birth date was consistent with the actual birth date in 78.0%. Birth date on record was earlier than the actual birth date in 6.8% and later in 15.3%. The consistency rate was lower in mothers above 35 years of age(54.5%), and in infants of 4th birth order and above(56.3%). The rate was increased as the maternal education level increased. The rate of boys was higher than that of girls. A higher percentage(17.4%) of infants born in March was registered with earlier date than the actual birth date and most of these registered birth dates were lunar calendar date. This might be related with the age for entering the primary school. The study findings revealed that the birth registration rate within legal due date and accuracy of report have been increased in recent years, but the infant mortality rate derived from the birth registration seems to be very inaccurate. It is suggested to let the medical personnel who delivered the baby report the birth by mail directly to the current address of parent while infants delivered at home without professional attendant may comply with the present registration system.

BACKGROUND: Carotid endarterectomy has been proven to be beneficial for the prevention of strokes in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with significant carotid stenosis. Even if there is no consensus as to the most appropriate monitoring method for detecting cerebral ischemia during carotid endarterectomy, electroencephalography (EEG) and/or somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) has been extensively used to evaluate cerebral functions. We estimated the efficacy of EEG and SSEP for detecting cerebral ischemia during carotid endarterectomy in conscious patients. METHODS: One or both of 16-channel EEG and SSEP monitoring were performed in 103 patients scheduled for carotid endarterectomy under cervical plexus block. We estimated the sensitivity and specificity of EEG and SSEP for detecting cerebral ischemia expressed by altered consciousness and shunt insertion. RESULTS: During carotid clamp in 74 cases studied, significant EEG changes were noted in 5 of the 16 patients who had cerebral ischemia, however 11 patients had no EEG changes despite cerebral ischemia. During carotid clamp in 84 cases studied, significant SSEP changes were noted in 7 of the 19 patients who had cerebral ischemia, however 12 patients had no SSEP changes despite cerebral ischemia. The sensitivity and specificity for detecting cerebral ischemia were 31% and 86% for EEG and 37% and 95% for SSEP, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that EEG and SSEP monitoring during carotid endarterectmy under regional anesthesia is not a sensitive method for detecting cerebral ischemia.
