The records of hospitalized patients in the Department of Otolaryngology, Tohoku University School of Medicine during 1978 and 1985 were analyzed, and a comparison was made between the present statistics and those of two earlier periods (1940-1962 and 1972-1978).The following trends were seen:1. The number of hospitalized patients per year decreased and the average length of hospitalization increased, mainly because of an increased number of malignant cases requiring longer hospitalization.2. The incidence of tumors, trauma, foreign bodies, cysts of the paranasal sinuses and nasal bleeding increased, tumors most of all. In contrast, the incidence of inflammatory diseases declined.3. Recently our department handles not only ear, nose and throat problems, but also those of other areas of the head and neck.
