title: [Clinical statistics on outpatients at the Urological Clinic of Higashi Sapporo Sanjukai Hospital in 1985].
abstract: A statistical study was performed on new outpatients, the total number of which was 7,786 (male: 4,953, female: 2,833) in 1985. The male to female ratio was 1.75:1. They had urogenital diseases definitely diagnosed (6,786), tentatively diagnosed (600), normal (260), and diseases other than urogenital (140), and 36.2% of them had been referred to us by other sources. On these outpatients 206 operations had been performed circumcision, resection of condyloma and vasectomy were representative. The peak of the age distribution was in the thirties for males and in the twenties for females. For the first time in Japan, we treated renal and upper ureteral stones using extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) on September 1, 1984. The results of ESWL at out hospital have been satisfactory. A statistical study was made on new outpatients according to the international disease classification. There were 152 malignant (urogenital) tumors (2.1%). The major diseases of the new outpatients were cystitis (acute or chronic: 20.6%), upper urinary tract stones (19.4%), prostatitis (13.5%), benign prostatic hypertrophy (10.7%). In males the major diseases were prostatitis, upper urinary tract stones, benign prostatic hypertrophy, balanoposthitis, and phimosis, and in females they were cystitis, upper urinary tract stone, pyelonephritis, and renoptosis. We conclude that our hospital plays a major role as a private urological hospital.
