To assess trends in hospitalizations for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in the United States for 1975 through 1981, we analyzed data from the Hospital Discharge Survey conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics. Overall, both the estimated number and rate of hospitalizations for PID among women aged 15 to 44 years rose slightly. For the seven-year period, an estimated average of 267,200 women were hospitalized annually for PID, with hospitalization rates averaging 5.3 per 1,000 women. Risk of hospitalization for PID was greatest among women in their 20s. Divorced or separated women were considerably more likely to have been hospitalized than single or married women. Although nonwhite women had estimated average rate 2.5 times higher than for white women, the trend of hospitalizations for PID among nonwhite women appeared relatively stable while the trend among young white women showed measurable increases.
为评估1975年至1981年美国盆腔炎（PID）住院情况的趋势，我们分析了国家卫生统计中心开展的医院出院调查数据。总体而言，15至44岁女性中PID的住院估计人数和住院率均略有上升。在这七年期间，估计每年平均有267,200名女性因PID住院，住院率平均为每1000名女性中有5.3例。20多岁的女性患PID住院的风险最高。离婚或分居的女性比单身或已婚女性住院的可能性要高得多。尽管非白人女性的估计平均住院率比白人女性高2.5倍，但非白人女性中PID的住院趋势似乎相对稳定，而年轻白人女性中的住院趋势则有明显上升。
