| Abstract: | A three months prospective survey of admissions to two general surgical wards, one for men and one for women, was carried out between the 1st of May and the 31st July, 1964. Three hundred and sixty patients have been analysed in various respects: age, disease, length of stay in hospital, weight, height, incidence of diabetes. Of the 360 patients, 228 (63.3%) were males and 132 (36.7%) females. One positive result has been the finding of a number of previously unknown diabetics. It has not been found possible to draw statistically significant conclusions from the figures quoted, one of the chief reasons being the relative smallness of the numbers. Notwithstanding, certain possible trends are suggested and these can serve as a basis for further research. |
