title: [The importance of ADP for medical statistics].
abstract: Recent german articles concerning medical statistics give priority to data acquisition. This contribution describe the statistical analysis and presentation of the results of the Swiss accident insurance Company (SUVA) with 1.9 million of insured workers. This documentation covers per year approximately 450,000 accidents at work and in free time. The documentation include primarily the insurance-data, for medical purposes we use the adjacent diagnoses (up to 20 per accident). The new medical statistic (SUMEST) begins with the accidents of the year 1984, updated until 1988, this means, that we have a statistic of the outcome of accidents. For the analysis we use properties of the personality, details of what happened, injury, expenses for healing and results. The primary presentation is a collection of tables for every diagnosis (total 417) with the most important criteria for the cases. It is provided to publish results of special problems like time of disability, influence of algodystrophy etc. The possibility to analyse a big documentation (25 MBytes) with a personal computer give to the physician the possibility to perform the statistical analysis himself and to select the significant results immediately.
