Abstract

Pattern of changes in hospital morbidity rates, calculated from medical records were presented for the inpatients population, who were admitted to Severance Hospital and were discharged from March 1, 1970 to February 28, 1978. Diseases were classified according to the International Classification of Diseases and Injuries of the World Health Organization. Infectious diseases, such as bacillary and amebic dysenteries, parasitic diseases and respiratory tuberculosis have decreased, and non-infectious diseases, such as malignant neoplasms, congenital anomalies, diabetes mellitus, and hypertensive heart diseases have increased.
