Summary.The Matsumoto Dental University Hospital is located in the center of Nagano Prefecture and is the core hospital in the area.In this study,we carried out a clinicostatistical survey of outpatients and inpatients for the past 3 years.The number of outpatient and inpatients were 6,545 and 861,respectively,for the study period.The referral rate was 71.8%,which annually increased.The number of hospitalized patients by age was bimodal in their 20s and 70s.Dental diseases were most common in outpatients,followed by temporomandibular joint diseases,mucosal/skin diseases,and inflammatory diseases.Inpatients mostly had dental diseases,jaw deformities,inflammatory diseases,and cystic diseases.Moreover,410 cases used the operating room.Consequently,the number was annually increasing.Therefore,this study suggests that our department is functioning as a regional core hospital.However,building a medical care system that strengthens regional cooperation so that it can meet the various needs is necessary. |
