To determine the prevalence and spectrum of alcohol-related diseases in a general hospital inpatient population, data of 1288 patients newly admitted to a city general hospital, who had been examined with regards to alcoholism, were surveyed. The sample consisted of 625 medical and 663 surgical patients aged 18-64 years. In 21% (29.3% of the men and 9.4% of the women), inpatient treatment was due to an alcohol-related disorder. The highest occurrence was found in the 35-55 year-olds. Frequently diagnosed disorders in alcohol-dependent patients included delirium tremens (12.8%), seizures (11.4%), head injuries (9.4%) and cirrhosis of the liver (8.1%), whereas alcohol abusers had often been injured. Excluding patients with alcohol-related diseases decreases the proportion of men in the sample by 6.2%. The prevalence of physically-damaged alcoholic patients in general hospitals suggests that preventative measures, such as consultation services, could be applied efficiently in this setting.
为确定综合医院住院患者中酒精相关疾病的患病率和疾病谱，我们调查了一家城市综合医院1288例新入院患者的资料，这些患者均接受过酒精中毒检查。样本包括625例内科患者和663例外科患者，年龄在18 - 64岁之间。21%的患者（男性为29.3%，女性为9.4%）因酒精相关疾病接受住院治疗。发病率最高的是35 - 55岁年龄段。酒精依赖患者中常见的诊断疾病包括震颤谵妄（12.8%）、癫痫发作（11.4%）、头部损伤（9.4%）和肝硬化（8.1%），而酗酒者常受伤。排除患有酒精相关疾病的患者后，样本中男性的比例下降了6.2%。综合医院中身体受损的酒精依赖患者的患病率表明，诸如咨询服务等预防措施在这种情况下可以有效实施。
