Major leading diseases of admission were bronchitis and pneumonia, gastroenteritis, pre-maturity, tuberculosis and upper respiratory tract infections, in order of incidence. 4. Total deaths were 129 and the mortality rate was 6.4%. 5. Major leading causes of deaths were pneumonia, pre-maturity, tuberculosis, septicemia, in order of incidence. The diseases of higher fatality rate were idiopathic respiratory distress syndrome, septicemia, encephalitis and encephalopathy, birth trauma and heart disease. 6. The death occurred within 48 hours after admission was 65.9% of total deaths.

The clinical observation was made in 220 children who was admitted to department of general surgery of St. Paul's Hospital from 1972 to 1977 and the following results were obtained. 1. The age incidence was the most common in 10~15 years age group (40.0%). 2. Distribution of the operated cases in order of frequency was acute appendicitis(44.6%), inguinal hernia(23.2%) and intussusception)11.4%). 3. 60cases(26.3%) had operation due to intestinal obstruction. The common causes of intestinal obstruction was intussusception(41.7%), congenital anomalies(36.7%) and incarcerated hernia(11.7%). 4. The highist incidence of the cases according to the age were as follows: newborn infant; intestinal obstruction due to congenital origin(all cases), 4wks-1year; intussusception(41.5%), 1-2years and 2-6years; inguinal hernia(75.0% and 44.7%), 6-10years and 10-15years; acute appendicitis(40.6% and 86.4%). 5. 7 cases were injured abdominal visera by trauma. Among them, spleen and liver was injured in 3cases, respectively, and ileum in 1case. 6. Overall mortality rate was 0.9%.

To assess the value of routine chest roentgenographic examinations at the time of admission, we analysed chest roentgenogram of 1,283 patients under the age of 15 who were admitted to St. Paul's Hospital from 1975 to 1977. A bonormal radiographic findings were detected in 111out of 1,283 Patients(8.7%). In 108 patients with abnormal findings, no medical or surgical therapy was required except three nowborn infants who had medical therapy as a result of pneumonic infiltration. In view of clinical analysis of 1,283 patients, it is considered that routine chest roentgenographic examinations were not warranted in patients under the age of 15 but justifiable in newborn infants.

Clinical and statistical observations were performed on 97 newborn infants who were admitted to newborn nursery of St. Paul's Hospital from September, 1978 to August, 1979 with the diagnosis of idiopathic neontal hyperbilirubinemia and the following results were obtained. 1. The highest monthly incidence was seen in March with 19 cases(19.2%). 2. The peak gestational age and birth weight were 40 weeks(33.0%) and 3,001-3,500 gm(38.2%), respectively. 3. In majority of cases appearence of jaundice was seen between 2 and 4 days. The peak value was reached between 3 and 8 days in premature infants and between 3 and 5 days in term infants. 4. The peak serum bilirubin levels in most of premature infants were 12.1-16.0mg% and term infants were 14.1-18.0mg%. 5. Apgar score at 1 minute and 5 minutes in majority of newborn infants were 7-10. 6. Total number o cases who were received exchange transfusion were 5 (5.2%).
