Comparative assessment of clinical, roentgenological and anatomicopathological pulmonary findings in prematures and newborns.

The clinical, roentgenological and pathologicanatomical findings in 101 deceased premature and newborn infants, delivered in the years 1968-1971, have been studied by transferring the data on to punch cards for the purposes of comparison and analysis. A full or partial conformity of the X-Ray findings with the pathologic-anatomic diagnosis was found in 72 cases. It has been concluded that a distinct radiomorphologic substrate is often caused by a combination of various pathologic-anatomical changes.
