Abstract

The role of arterial hypertension (AH) in the pattern and outcomes of hospitalizations at a multidisciplinary emergency care hospital was analyzed, by using annual statistical reports and 0199 statistical cards on patients with AH, admitted to the therapeutic, cardiological, and neurological units of City Clinical Hospital No. 64 in 2000-2001. The bulk of patients with AH comprised above 60-year-old individuals having complications and concomitant diseases (most commonly coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus, obesity, chronic bronchi!is). AH was the background disease in most patients admitted to the hospital for myocardial infarction and acute cerebral circulatory disorders, There arc great differences in the incidence of AH, as evidenced by annual final statistical reports (3.6 %) and individual Statistical forms (23.4 %), which leads to the underestimation of the actual prevalence of AG in inpatient practice.
