[Analysis of the activities of the urology services of the Paris Public Assistance hospitals].
From 1981 to 1987, urology in patient has shown the greatest increase of all surgical specialties in the Assistance Publique--Hôpitaux de Paris. For 10 urology departments, the number of patient stays increased from 14,800 to 19,300, while the ALOS decreased from 10.4 to 6.9 days. Case mix analysis reveals that lithotripsy (ESWL) explains one half of the increase observed, while cancer diagnosis and treatment and prostatic surgery explain the other half. Another change appears: the number of stays for congenital abnormalities has also slightly decreased.
