Descriptive analysis of diagnosis-related groups in patients from a Veterans Administration Medical Center.

Abstract:

:Discharge diagnoses from October 1, 1987 to September 30, 1988 were analyzed to quantitate infection. Four hundred forty-nine (4.8%) of 9,290 discharges (excluding 1-day stays) were infections. Pneumonia, caused by all etiological agents, was responsible for 2.4% of the principal diagnoses. These data help define the role of infection in hospitalized veterans and further supports earlier findings that respiratory tract infections are the most common of all infections in our veterans.
