Annual Summary of Vital Statistics—1977

In the article " Annual Summary of Vital Statistic—1977" by M.E. Wegman (Pediatrics 62:947-954, December 1978) an incorrect figure was given (p 948, col 1) for the number of babies born to white mothers under 19 years of age. The sentence should read: " White mothers age 19 and under had 398,329 babies; black mothers in the same age group had 160,597."

White and Nonwhite Mortality

Each year I scrutinize a little more thoroughly Myron Wegman's vital statistic summaries. I regard these as kind of report card of the state of health of our patients. One might estimate how effective we are by how the numbers look. The white-nonwhite mortality differential which Dr. Wegman has noted has been painfully elaborated by Dr. Helen C. Chase. Her compilation of death registration figures shows that, in 1963, infant mortality rate for whites was 22.3, and for nonwhites was 41.7.
