title: [Behavior in disability assessment of uncomplicated duodenal ulcer--a study].
abstract: There is internationally no standardized therapy of the uncomplicated duodenal ulcer, including the inability to work. In order to obtain a representative behaviour concerning the duration of the inability to work prescribed by specialists for general medicine, internal medicine and surgery, an interrogation was performed. An evaluation of 729 questionnaires shows the following tendency: 1. The younger the attending physician is the longer is the time of inability to work prescribed and the more frequent such a certificate is given. 2. General practitioners in rural districts on an average prescribe a longer time of inability to work. 3. The higher is the qualification of the specialist for internal medicine the shorter is the duration of inability to work attested. 4. In the assessment of the duration of the inability to work the attending physicians increasingly accommodate themselves rather to the symptoms than to the radiological or to the endoscopic control of healing.
