在全国流行病学调查中，假设“有反应”医院的平均患者人数与“无反应”医院的平均患者人数相等，估算了每年患有所谓疑难杂症的患者人数。本文利用全国特发性血小板减少性紫癜（ITP）流行病学调查数据以及接受财政补贴治疗的ITP患者（FST-患者）人数来评估这一假设的有效性。将全国调查中“有反应”医院中 ITP FST 患者的平均人数与“无反应”医院中的平均人数进行比较。 “回应”医院的平均数量与所有医院的平均数量之比在 1.0 至 1.1 之间；表明这个假设是足够有效的。流行病学杂志，1991； 1：27-30。
Annual numbers of patiens with the so-called intractable diseases were estimated in the nationwide epidemiological surveys under the assumption that the mean number of patients among “responded” hospitals is equal to that among “non-responded” hospitals. This paper evaluated the validity of this assumption, using the data of idiopathic thrombopenic purpura (ITP) obtained from the nationwide epidemiological survey and the number of ITP patients who are financially subsidized for treatment (FST-patients). The mean numbers of ITP FST-patients among “responded” hospitals in the nationwide survey were compared with the mean numbers among “non-responded” hospitals. The ratio of the mean number among “responded” hospitals to that among all hospitals was found to be between 1.0 and 1.1 ; suggesting that this assumption was sufficiently valid.
