Results: Annually, the number of patients with health insurance cards ranged from 65,000
to92,000,diagnosedaccordingtotheICD-10classication,covering24outof25chapters
of diseases (excluding certain conditions originating in the perinatal period). The disease
distribution, in decreasing order of average proportion, was as follows: endocrine,
nutritional, and metabolic diseases (19.9%); circulatory system diseases (13.7%);
respiratory system diseases (13.0%); digestive system diseases (10.5%); musculoskeletal
system and connective tissue diseases (9.3%); infectious and parasitic diseases (7.3%).
The combined rate of these top 10 diseases accounted for over 50% of the total, with
hypertension(17.4%)andDenguefever(10.4%)beingthetwomostprevalent.Mostcasescame
to the hospital through the outpatient department, with an average rate of 84.3% over the 5 years;
