Background: To date there had been no investigations using the International Classification of Primary Care, Second Edition (ICPC-2) at a clinic on an isolated island. In order to analyze health problems on the island, we investigated the reasons for visits, chronic illnesses, and the number of cases referred to other medical facilities using the ICPC-2.Methods: The study was conducted over a 12-month period, from April 1, 2006 to March 31, 2007. Patient complaints/symptoms were classified according to ICPC-2, and diseases of patients who regularly visited the clinic as of November 2006 were investigated.Results: Half of the patients that regularly visited the clinic had lifestyle-related or musculoskeletal diseases. On the first visit, several patients presented with cold, musculoskeletal, or skin symptoms. The specialist care to which the patients were most frequently referred was orthopedic surgery.Conclusion: Physicians working at a clinic on an isolated island need to be able to control lifestyle-related diseases and provide initial treatment for musculoskeletal or skin diseases.
