Abstract
From January 1, 1979, to March 31, 1980, 20 sterilization-attributable deaths were identified in Dacca and Rajshahi Divisions, Bangladesh. The leading cause of death from tubectomy was anesthesia overdose and from vasectomy, scrotal infection. Overall. The sterilization-attributable death-to-case rate was 21.3 deaths/100,000 procedures. The health impact of contraceptive sterilization is highly favorable: for each 100,000 tubectomies performed, the cost in lives (19) is offset by approximately 1015 maternal deaths averted.Entities:
