ABORTION CURBS IN
HOSPITALS HIT: Despite the
general legalization of abortion
over the past few years, some 30
per cent of 50 per cent of all
women seeking abortions were
unable to get one,a new study
reports. Hospitals - particularly
public hospitals - have failed to
provide adequate abortion
services to meet public demand,
according to a nationwide survey
by the Alan Guttmacher
Institute of the Planned
Parenthood Federation of
America.
The survey found that by
April, 1974, only 15 per cent of
all U. S. hospitals had performed
' even a single abortion," and
that between 400.000 and
900,000 women who needed an
abortion in 1974 were unable to
get one.
Poor women and rural
women had the most difficulty
finding hospitals that would
permit abortions, the study says.
The number of abortions
performed in public hospitals
amounted 15 per cent of the
demand among the poor. Many
rural states reported none or
very few abortions performed
during 1974.
Nationwide, only 42 per cent
of women wno sought abortion
were able to obtain them, the
survey said. The survey
concluded that the pattern of
abortion services available
"perpetuates sharp inequities" in
services between the poor and
others and between rural and
urban women. Lack of adequate
aboriton services would lead to
"illegal or self-induced
abortions, unwanted or
mistimed births, out-of-wedlock
births, schools dropouts,
precipitous marriages, and other
health and social consequences
of the unavailability or legal
abortion," the report said.
SUGAR CONTROL
INPORTANT TO SURVIVAL
OF DIABETIC PATIENTS: In
what is believed to be the largest
mortality study of its kind, a
major life insurance company
has reported that a prospective,
20 year follow-up of more than
10,000 diabetics showedi that
blood sugar control is an
"important factor in the
survival of the diabetic patient
The finding, one of the
highlights in the long-term
nationwide investigation,
disclosed that death wg
poorly controlled patients ran
about two-andhaff times
higher than among those who
were wetf controlled. Diabetes
experts are in the midst of a
controversy over the significance
of control in Ihe development
and course of diabetic
complications and on survwaL
Even when Juvenee diabetics
under 30 were excluded from
the data, mortality among
poorly controlled patients
totalled nearly twice that of the
well-controlled group, according
to the findings of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society of the
United States.
The findings, "contrary to
the opinion of some clinicians,"
conf irmed that the diabetic even
if well-controlled, is a "heavily
substandard risk, with a
mortality ratio far in excess of
normal,' according to the report
prepared by Dr. George
Goodkin, Equitable's associate
medical director.
Overall, there were 1,478
actual deaths compared to 440
expected datths for standard

diabetics (toss who mt

insurability) had a death rttt
more than om-end-a-hatf times

Among the other highlights
revealed by the study were
these;
1. The finding of albuminuria
in a diabetic h "an extrameiy
unfavorable" prognostic sign.
2. The mortality risk of
hypertension in a diabetic is
gravely multiplied when
compared to the non-diabetic,
expecially at ages under 40
(NNPA).
