目标.本研究旨在描述美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民中与传染病相关的住院趋势。传染病住院率和美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民从1980年至1994年通过印度卫生服务医院出院的数据进行了检查，并与公布的趋势为一般美国population.Results相比，每年的传染病住院率美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民之间下降了31.0%，1980年至1994年。1980年传染病住院占所有住院的16.3%，1994年占21.2%，增加了30.1%。1994年，美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民的年龄调整传染病住院率为1863/10万人口，比美国普通人口高出约21%。传染病住院趋势表明，美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民的健康状况有所改善，但也表明这一人群的传染病负担高于美国普通人群。
Objectives. This study sought to describe trends in hospitalizations associated with infectious diseases among American Indians and Alaska Natives.Methods. Infectious disease hospitalizations and rates among American Indians and Alaska Natives from 1980 through 1994 were examined via Indian Health Service hospital discharge data and compared with published trends for the general US population.Results, Annual hospitalization rates for infectious diseases among American Indians and Alaska Natives decreased by 31.0% between 1980 and 1994. Infectious disease hospitalizations accounted for 16.3% of all hospitalizations in 1980 and 21.2% in 1994, an increase of 30.1%. In 1994, the age-adjusted infectious disease hospitalization rate for American Indians and Alaska Natives was 1863 per 100 000 population, approximately 21% greater than that for the general US population.Conclusions. Hospitalization trends for infectious diseases show that there has been improvement in the health status of American Indians and Alaska Natives but also indicate that this population has a higher infectious disease burden than the general US population.
