摘要

根據問卷調查，查閱臺灣地區15家主要區域、地區醫院及9家醫學中心共24家醫院，自民國七十六年一月至七十八年十二月，共有158,576人次病童住院。最常見的住院原因是呼吸疾病(29.2%)；新生兒疾病(18.7%)，胃腸道理疾病(14.4%)及一般傳染病(8.3%)。在呼吸道疾病中，58.8%屬支氣管肺炎，而胃腸道病中80.8%為腹瀉。依內政部資料，在此三年中，14歲以下的兒童人口，共計16,670,519人年，故呼吸道疾病的患病機率為2.75%，新生兒疾病為1.7%，胃腸道疾病為1.25%，一般傳染疾病為0.8%，心臟血管疾病為0.4%，神經系統疾病為0.38%，過敏性疾病為0.27%，血液及惡性腫瘤疾病為0.27%，意外事件為0.14%，腎臟疾病為0.13%，及新陳代謝異常疾病為0.02%。雖然有部分醫院的資料未列入統計，但列入統計的醫院為國內主要提供兒科醫療服務的醫學中心及區域、地區醫院，故此項統計資料，應是以代表臺灣地區住院病童所患病的形態，及可做為衛生行政單位施政及醫院設置的參考。

From January 1987 to December 1989, there were a total of 158,576 pediatric admissions to 24 major hospitals in Taiwan. The most common diseases leading to admission included respiratory tract disease (28.88%), neonatal illness (18.44%), gastrointestinal tract disease (14.20%) and common infectious diseases (8.45%). More than half (58.8%) of the children with respiratory tract disease had bronchopneumonia, and 80.8% of the children with gastrointestinal tract disease sufferred from diarrhea. During the three-year study period, the average number of children under 14 years of age in Taiwan was 5,556,839. The frequency of each major illness per 1,000 children-years was thus 2.75 for respiratory tract disease, 1.75 for neonatal illness, 1.35 for gastrointestinal tract disease, 0.84 for common infectious disease, 0.49 for cardiovascular disease, 0.38 for neurological disorders, 0.27 for allergic diseases, 0.27 for hemato-oncologic disease, 0.14 for accidents, 0.13 for renal disease and 0.02 for metabolic disease.
