Based on public health routine data, a study on the incidence of appendectomies was carried out in the Federal Republic of Germany. The result of 130 appendectomies per 100,000 inhabitants per annum comes very close to the findings made in England and Wales though it only represents one fifth of the figure, Lichtner and Pflanz had established for some other region about 20 years ago. Duration of hospitalization averaged 10.6 days, thus showing a reduction of 2 days compared to the earlier study. In England and Wales however, the average length of stay in hospital came up to only 5.6 days. The length of stay, standardized by age and sex, showed differences of more than 4 days on the various wards. The possible influences of institution inherent factors on the frequency of operations and on the duration of hospitalization are discussed.
基于公共卫生常规数据，在德意志联邦共和国开展了一项关于阑尾切除术发病率的研究。每年每10万居民中有130例阑尾切除术的结果与在英格兰和威尔士的研究结果非常接近，尽管这一数字仅为利希特纳和普夫兰茨大约20年前为其他某个地区确定数字的五分之一。住院时间平均为10.6天，因此与早期研究相比减少了2天。然而，在英格兰和威尔士，平均住院时间仅为5.6天。按年龄和性别标准化后的住院时间在各个病房显示出超过4天的差异。讨论了机构固有因素对手术频率和住院时间的可能影响。
