We studied 2561 cases of otolaryngologic emergencies in the Far Eastern Memorial Hospital from January 1, 1985, to December 31, 1989, looking for the distribution and epidemiology of these emergency diseases. Our conclusions were as follows: 1. Total emergency otolaryngologic cases [otologic cases and pharyngolaryngologic cases] demonstrated a tendency to increase from year to year. 2. Acute otitis media and foreign bodies of the nose also showed an increase from year to year. 3. The "top five" emergency otolaryngologic diseases in order of frequency were: epistaxis (22.7%), foreign bodies of the throat (18.7%), acute tonsillitis (11.4%), acute otitis media (7.7%), and foreign bodies of the ear (6.4%). 4. Patients admitted to the emergency department (7.2%) ranked in order of frequency were: epistaxis (29%), acute tonsillitis (24.5%) and esophageal foreign bodies (14.1%). 5. Emergency visits occurred most frequently between 20-24 o'clock (26.5%) daily; the least from 4-8 o'clock (9.3%).
我们研究了1985年1月1日至1989年12月31日期间远东纪念医院的2561例耳鼻喉科急诊病例，以探寻这些急诊疾病的分布情况和流行病学特征。我们的结论如下：1. 耳鼻喉科急诊病例总数[耳科病例和咽喉科病例]呈逐年上升趋势。2. 急性中耳炎和鼻腔异物也逐年增多。3. 按发生频率排序，耳鼻喉科急诊“五大”疾病依次为：鼻出血（22.7%）、咽喉异物（18.7%）、急性扁桃体炎（11.4%）、急性中耳炎（7.7%）和耳部异物（6.4%）。4. 急诊科收治患者中，按发生频率排序依次为：鼻出血（29%）、急性扁桃体炎（24.5%）和食管异物（14.1%）。5. 急诊就诊最频繁发生在每日20 - 24时（26.5%）；最少发生在4 - 8时（9.3%）。
