title: [The evaluation of the grounds for the hospitalization of surgical patients].
abstract: An analysis of in-patients' flow in the surgery sections of main military clinical hospitals shows that according to the experts' assessment, 89.3% patients were accommodated according to the profile of their illness. 5% patients needed accommodation in other sections (not surgical) and 5.7% should have been treated as out-patients in a military sanatorium (so called unreasonable hospitalization). Trauma sections were most often overloaded with patients that should be placed somewhere else (3.1%) but in the sections of purulent vascular and cavity surgery the number of misplaced patients was almost 10 times less--0.3%, 0.4%, 1.9% respectively. Elder people represent the majority of unreasonably hospitalized patients.
