During a six-month study, one person in every 24 of the practice population consulted us about headache. There were more than twice as many females as males, and the largest group of females was in the 20 to 40 year age group.The majority of patients were managed entirely in the practice; only 10.4 per cent were investigated and four per cent were referred to hospital. The commonest cause was tension. Two patients had headaches due to serious pathology and one of these died.
在一项为期六个月的研究中,该医疗机构的每24人中就有1人因头痛向我们咨询。女性人数是男性的两倍多,最大的女性群体年龄在20至40岁之间。大多数患者在该医疗机构内得到了全面治疗;只有10.4%的患者接受了进一步检查,4%的患者被转诊至医院。最常见的病因是紧张。有两名患者因严重病变引发头痛,其中一人死亡。
