[Prevalence of alcoholic diseases. At a teaching hospital of the Paris suburbs].
During the last 15 days of January 1989, the 757 patients admitted for more than 48 hours in any of the departments of Hôpital Beaujon (Clichy) were investigated for diseases that were certainly or probably related to alcoholism, and in order to detect drinkers at high risk, the amount of alcohol consumed in a week was recorded. The prevalence of alcohol-related diseases was 14.7 per cent (range: 12.2 per cent-17.2 per cent) and that of alcohol consumers at high risk was 4.2 per cent (range: 2.8 per cent-5.6 per cent).
