Abstract

Using data from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey and the National Hospital Discharge Survey, statistics are presented on visits to office-based physicians for care and treatment of female reproductive disorders and on patients discharged from short-stay hospitals with related surgery. Visits are described in terms of patient, physician, and clinical characteristics. Breast and gynecological surgery is shown in terms of associated diagnoses and is charted for 1970-78.
