[A retrospective study of alcoholism at the Hospital Universitario de Granada (1): the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics].
This work offers the results of a retrospective study carried out on 856 patients diagnosed as suffering from alcoholism and/or other alcohol-related illnesses over 120456 who were admitted at the Granada University Hospital over the period 1985-1990. The patients have been classified in a distribution according to various factors, including age, sex, place of residence, profession and hospital admittance and discharge procedure. We have also taken into account both annual and accumulated incidence, as well as the distribution of those patients in the different hospital services and the evolution of the global average hospital stay. We then offer a study contrasting our results with other national and international studies, taking into account elements such as conceptual diversity and similarities and differences in methodology.
