title: [The treatment of peptic ulcer patients during exacerbation at the day hospital of an industrial enterprise polyclinic].
abstract: Results are submitted of treatment of 659 patients with exacerbated peptic ulcer at an in-plant day in-patient facility. The basic therapy was hyperbaric oxygenation and ultraviolet irradiation of blood. The relapse rate over the year was 16%. A surgical operation was performed in 1.5% of those cases having completed the course treatment at the day in-patient facility, with 33.3% of patients having been operated on urgently, and 11.28% at a twenty-four-hour department; of these, in 85.62% cases operations were performed in situations of emergency needing prompt action. Duration of temporary disability in patients cared for at the day hospital was 21.3 days, while in those treated at a twenty-four-hour facility-27.8 days. Indications for hospitalization were of social character. Comparison of results of treatment, relapse rates and complications of ulcer disease in hospitalized patients versus those having been treated at a day-care facility gave arguments in favour of reorientation of treatment of major part of those patients experiencing exacerbation of ulcer disease at well equipped day-care in-patient facilities.
