Can Fam Physician. 1980 Feb;26:259-61.
In a study of 100 male and 100 female urban Canadian alcoholics, the alcoholism had previously gone undiagnosed in 17 of the men and 31 of the women. Physicians appear to expect the typical alcoholic to be a male social derelict, thus missing the diagnosis in patients from upper socioeconomic groups, particularly women. Diagnostic pointers are given in the hope that this very common problem may be detected more readily by physicians.
在一项对 100 名男性和 100 名女性加拿大城市酗酒者的研究中,此前有 17 名男性和 31 名女性的酗酒症未被诊断出来。医生似乎期望典型的酗酒者是男性社会弃儿,因此错过了来自上层社会经济群体的患者的诊断,尤其是女性。给出诊断要点是希望医生能够更轻易地发现这个非常普遍的问题。
