A comparative study was performed using the medical records of 40,000 inpatients undergoing treatment in surgical units of 10 hospitals. The results show that the number of patients, the kind of diseases or injuries and the time required for their treatment do not correlate with the classification of the hospital or the degree of specialization of the surgical unit. Therefore, for every group of diseases (expressed as ICD number), standards (mean, median, benchmark) can be defined which should be followed in order to reduce the time of treatment and to improve the efficiency of the unit.
利用10家医院外科病房40000名住院患者的病历进行了一项对比研究。结果表明，患者数量、疾病或损伤种类及其治疗所需时间与医院分类或外科病房的专业化程度无关。因此，对于每组疾病（以国际疾病分类编号表示），可以定义标准（均值、中位数、基准），为减少治疗时间和提高科室效率应遵循这些标准。
