[Hospital admissions for digestive diseases: 1995-2003 morbidity in a military hospital].

Digestive diseases are still currently one of the leading causes of illness. The study was conducted of those individuals admitted to hospital during the 1995-2003 period, whose main diagnosis at admission to hospital had been encoded according to the International Disease Classification as a digestive disease. The highest rate of admissions was in civilian males (the military hospital assures health care services for militaries and their families), due to duodenal ulcer and liver diseases.
