Acceptability of Patinets with Acute Abdominal Pain in the Typical Urbane Area

Abstract

Patients with acute abdominal pain are often treated as difficult and troublesome cases by doctors with some specialties other than gastroenterology because comples and vague methods are required for the diagnostic procedure such as abdominal palpation and evaluation of abdominal CT images. Today, most hospitals have accepted non-reserved patients with acute abdomminal pain. In this report, we evaluated the numbers of emergency surgeries for acute abdominal pain treated in the hospitals in the typical urbane city and its rural area. In the urbane area each hospital treated different spectrum of emergency cases of acute abdominal pain. On the contrary in rural area, one large hospital treated both most emergency and non-emergency cases. To confirm high acceptability of patients with acute abdominal pain, we should consider role sharing of each hospital in urbane area which brings high acceptability of these patients in total district. And we should consider non-administrative strategy produced by medical associations which include duty of all specialists to work as generalist in some period.
