Emergency department (ED) patient volume at Jerusalem's Shaare Zedek Hospital was 33% higher during the 1983 doctors' strike as compared with the same period in 1982. Excess visits were recorded for both sexes (P less than 0.0001), but there were many more excess visits by females than males. The largest increase in visits by adults (60-70%) was in persons aged 40-64 years (P less than 0.02), and there was also a large and unexplained increase in ED visits by girls under age 6 (P less than 0.0003). In contrast to excess ED visits, which were higher during the strike for both sexes, excess hospital admissions via the ED were recorded only among females (P = 0.007). The number of ED visits during the strike was increased on all three hospital work shifts (P less than 0.0001), with the greatest number of excess visits occurring between 7 AM and 3 PM.
耶路撒冷沙雷兹德克医院急诊科的患者数量在1983年医生罢工期间比1982年同期高出33%。男女的就诊量均有增加（P<0.0001），但女性的就诊量增加幅度远高于男性。成年人就诊量增加最多的年龄段（60 - 70%）为40 - 64岁（P<0.02），6岁以下女童的急诊科就诊量也出现了大幅且原因不明的增加（P<0.0003）。与男女在罢工期间均增加的急诊科就诊量不同，通过急诊科的住院人数增加仅见于女性（P = 0.007）。罢工期间，医院三个工作班次的急诊科就诊量均有所增加（P<0.0001），其中上午7点至下午3点的就诊量增加最多。
