Abstract

In this study, 477 elderly patients who attended the day hospital at Princess Margaret Hospital, Hong Kong in the years 1979-81 are reviewed. Our patients are on the whole younger than those in the UK, with an approximately equal sex ratio. The day hospital has an important function for the rehabilitation of stroke patients. A longer stay of patients has reflected the lack of day hospital places. A low New Patient Index resulted from the lack of day care centres.

摘要

本研究回顾了1979年至1981年间在香港玛嘉烈医院日间医院就诊的477名老年患者。总体而言，我们的患者比英国的患者年轻，性别比例大致相等。日间医院对中风患者的康复具有重要作用。患者住院时间延长反映了日间医院床位不足。日托中心的缺乏导致新患者指数较低。
