Abstract

A longitudinal recruitment of adult tetanus patients to determine the survival rate of adult tetanus patients was conducted at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria. One hundred and sixty-four patients were admitted and forty-nine (30%) survived. The only significant determinant of survival was young age ( P = 0.017).
