In examining the relative importance of snakebite mortality in different parts of the world, the authors review the information collected concerning both snakebite mortality and the species of snake incriminated. Available statistical data are known to be unreliable and at best can serve to provide only an approximate and highly conservative estimate of the relative magnitude of the snakebite problem. The sources of error inherent in the data are discussed, and estimates are made of the probable mortality from snakebite in various areas of the world.
在研究世界各地蛇咬伤死亡率的相对重要性时,作者回顾了所收集的有关蛇咬伤死亡率及涉案蛇种的信息。已知现有的统计数据不可靠,充其量只能对蛇咬伤问题的相对严重程度提供一个大致且极为保守的估计。文中讨论了数据中固有的误差来源,并对世界各地区蛇咬伤可能造成的死亡率进行了估算。
