A large database of hospital records maintained by the Commission on Professional and Hospital Activities Professional Activity Study (CPHA-PAS) was used to estimate the temporal incidence and geographic distribution of toxic shock syndrome (TSS). The CPHA-PAS hospital-diagnosed incidence was 3.5 times the reported TSS incidence, with a gradual decrease over the time period 1981-83. Marked differences in the regional occurrence of cases may provide clues to the etiology of this complex disease.
专业与医院活动委员会专业活动研究(CPHA - PAS)维护的一个大型医院记录数据库被用于估计中毒性休克综合征(TSS)的时间发病率和地理分布。CPHA - PAS医院诊断的发病率是报告的TSS发病率的3.5倍,在1981 - 1983年期间逐渐下降。病例在区域发生情况上的显著差异可能为这种复杂疾病的病因提供线索。
