Abstract

A study of hospital admissions of chronic renal failure cases during the 5 years 1987-1991 in a major referral centre in South West African showed a significant departure from a uniform monthly distribution (P < 0.01). Admission rates were high in February-March and June-August showing 2 peaks. There was no absolute seasonal effect. Mean monthly admissions did not differ between the dry (9.7 +/- 0.6 SE) and wet (9.8 +/- 0.6 SE) seasons. Possible reasons for the variations are discussed. For health planning, high admission rates can be anticipated and resources mobilized to meet the increased demands at these periods when they occur.

摘要

对1987年至1991年这5年间西南非洲一个主要转诊中心慢性肾衰竭病例的住院情况研究表明，其月分布情况与均匀分布有显著差异（P < 0.01）。2月至3月和6月至8月的住院率较高，呈现出两个高峰。不存在绝对的季节性影响。旱季（9.7 +/- 0.6标准误）和雨季（9.8 +/- 0.6标准误）的月平均住院人数没有差异。文中讨论了这些变化的可能原因。为了进行卫生规划，可以预期到高住院率，并在这些时期出现时调动资源以满足增加的需求。
