From January 1987 to December 1989, there were a total of 158,576 pediatric admissions to 24 major hospitals in Taiwan. The most common diseases leading to admission included respiratory tract disease (28.88%), neonatal illness (18.44%), gastrointestinal tract disease (14.20%) and common infectious diseases (8.45%). More than half (58.8%) of the children with respiratory tract disease had bronchopneumonia, and 80.8% of the children with gastrointestinal tract disease suffered from diarrhea. During the three-year study period, the average number of children under 14 years of age in Taiwan was 5,556,839. The frequency of each major illness per 1,000 children-years was thus 2.75 for respiratory tract disease, 1.75 for neonatal illness, 1.35 for gastrointestinal tract disease, 0.84 for common infectious disease, 0.49 for cardiovascular disease, 0.38 for neurological disorders, 0.27 for allergic diseases, 0.27 for hemato-oncologic disease, 0.14 for accidents, 0.13 for renal disease and 0.02 for metabolic disease.
1987年1月至1989年12月期间，台湾24家主要医院共有158,576名儿科住院病例。导致住院的最常见疾病包括呼吸道疾病（28.88%）、新生儿疾病（18.44%）、胃肠道疾病（14.20%）和常见传染病（8.45%）。超过一半（58.8%）的呼吸道疾病患儿患有支气管肺炎，80.8%的胃肠道疾病患儿患有腹泻。在为期三年的研究期间，台湾14岁以下儿童的平均人数为5,556,839人。因此，每1000儿童年中，每种主要疾病的发病率分别为：呼吸道疾病2.75、新生儿疾病1.75、胃肠道疾病1.35、常见传染病0.84、心血管疾病0.49、神经系统疾病0.38、过敏性疾病0.27、血液肿瘤疾病0.27、意外事故0.14、肾脏疾病0.13、代谢疾病0.02。
