The smaller the body weight of a patient was, the worse the prognosis was. 6.The body temperature below normal and of high degree on admission of a patient was followed by bad prognosis.
7.The dosage of administered tetanus antitoxin seemed to display little influence on the prognosis. 8.In this analysis, the types and combination o£ administered sedatives, eg. phenobarbital alone, phenobarbital plus chlorpromazine, phenobarbital plus chloraldehyde, failed to reveal different influence on the prognosis.
