An "unprecedented" rise in the incidence of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) was reported from the Central Region of Scotland in 1979. Examination of statistics from Greater Manchester showed a similar trend in some district health authorities but not others. Possible explanations are examined but future research is required. Hospital Activity Analysis can provide a useful tool for such research.
1979年,苏格兰中部地区报告称婴儿肥厚性幽门狭窄(IHPS)的发病率出现了“前所未有的”上升。对大曼彻斯特地区统计数据的审查显示,一些地区卫生当局呈现出类似趋势,而其他地区则不然。文中对可能的解释进行了探讨,但仍需要未来的研究。医院活动分析可为这类研究提供有用的工具。
