title: [Epidemiological aspects of malignant hyperthermia (author's transl)].
abstract: A statistical review is given on cases of malignant hyperthermia in Hamburg. The total number of general anesthetics from 1970--1976 was 960 000. 10 cases of malignant hyperthermia have been observed so that a crude estimate of the incidence would be about 1 : 100 000. Some epidemiological aspects of the patients in Hamburg are discussed.
