title: [Descriptive epidemiological study of a year-long otologic consultation in a tertiary hospital].
abstract: Despite the spreading of Otologic care Units it is surprising the lack of comprehensive epidemiologic descriptions of patients attended in these Departments. A greater efficacy would be the result of better protocols designs and consequently a much better sanitary behaviour. We make a register of protocols and several aspects epidemiologic and diagnostical of our first consultations in the Unit during 1998. Were studied 595 cases, 320 women and 275 men, middle age was 49.91 years. From each one was controlled and analyzed the age, the sex, where they come from under the sanitary view-point, consult reason and diagnosis achieved.
