We report in this study the demographic and diagnostic variables of all successive outpatients, age 16 years and older, treated during a one year time period, at a Psychiatric Unit of the Spanish Seguridad Social. Diagnosis were made following DSM-III Criteria. Epidemiologic parameters calculated were population based treated morbidity rates. The total number of patients seen was 1,119, annual rate of 13.16 per 1,000 population. Females outnumbered males significantly (rates of 18.25 and 8.41, respectively). Annual rates are compared with six months previously obtained rates. In general, a consistent sex/age epidemiologic profile was found for most DSM-III diagnostic categories. Implications for planning Mental Health Care Systems, as well as for evaluating Epidemiologic Field Surveys in Psychiatry, all of potential value, can be derived from the data.
我们在本研究中报告了西班牙社会保障部精神科一年内连续治疗的所有16岁及以上门诊患者的人口统计学和诊断变量。诊断依据《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版标准进行。计算的流行病学参数为基于人群的治疗发病率。就诊患者总数为1119人，年发病率为每1000人中有13.16人。女性人数显著多于男性（发病率分别为18.25和8.41）。将年发病率与六个月前获得的发病率进行比较。总体而言，大多数《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版诊断类别呈现出一致的性别/年龄流行病学特征。这些数据对于规划精神卫生保健系统以及评估精神病学流行病学现场调查均具有潜在价值。
