title: [Case statistics and life expectancy].
abstract: The trial to find connections between the frequency of cases in general medicine and life expectancy of the population succeeded, concerning superficial pyogenic infections by meta-analysing cases-statistics 1944-1996. More could be found by special, prospective, well-planned, comparable statistics of long duration, although it is unlikely that such expensive and difficult investigations will ever be made.
