title: [Hospitalization of patients with central nervous system neoplasms in 1979-1981 and 1986-1988].
abstract: The hospitalizations and hospital deaths due to nervous system tumours were analysed on the basis of statistical cards filled in hospitals in a random sample of 10% of patients hospitalized in all Polish hospitals in the years 1979-1981 and 1986-1988. An evident rise was observed in the frequency of these hospitalizations and a less evident rise in the number of hospital deaths with a decrease of the hospital deaths caused by nervous system tumours. In the analysed time periods the greatest number of hospitalizations was in the age group 40-59 years, and deaths in the age group over 60 years. Hospitalization and hospital deaths indices were higher for urban population and males.
