Abstract

This is a review of the population coming to the outpatients department along June 1984. Most of the people are coming between noon and midnight. 20% of the patients are driven by ambulance and 59% of them are admitted, while only 23% of the total population and 11% of surgical cases are hospitalized. 56% of the patients are living in the neighbourhood of the hospital and 38% in the other suburbs of Brussels' urban area. Only 26% of the patients are referred by the family physician and 86% of them are admitted, while only 14% are requesting for a specific examination.
