title: [A retrospective study of alcoholism at the Hospital Universitario de Granada. II. The reasons for admission and associated pathology in these patients].
abstract: In a retrospective study conducted from 1985 to 1990, the cause of hospitalization and associated pathology of 221 chronic ethylics were investigated. The most frequent cause of hospitalization was neuropsychiatric, followed by digestive pathology. With respect to the most frequent associated pathology, it was mainly digestive, causing multiple hospitalizations in most of the patients. The respiratory, cardiocirculatory and endocrine-metabolic pathologies followed in the frequency rank in these patients, as well as the traumatisms resulting from the ebrietas condition. We also observed gynecological and neonatal pathologies among the alcoholic women. The association of alcohol, tobacco and analgesics and psychodrugs consumption deserves also to be mentioned.
