Rehabilitation plays a crucial role in restoring functional abilities and improving the quality of life for individuals facing diverse health challenges. Understanding the specific disease patterns prevalent in rehabilitation settings is fundamental for optimizing service delivery and resource allocation. This study addresses this need by investigating the "disease pattern" of patients receiving treatment at the Rehabilitation Department – General Clinic of the Hanoi University of Public Health. By analyzing patient data from July 2022 to June 2023, this research aims to provide a clear profile of the primary conditions requiring rehabilitative care, thereby informing strategic planning and enhancing the effectiveness of rehabilitation services.

Medical professionals and researchers in rehabilitation, public health officials, and hospital administrators seeking insights into disease patterns for service planning.

This cross-sectional study comprehensively describes the "disease pattern" of patients treated at the Rehabilitation Department – General Clinic of the Hanoi University of Public Health between July 2022 and June 2023. Employing a retrospective data collection approach, researchers analyzed 1386 patient records to identify the most common conditions requiring "rehabilitation" services. The findings reveal a significant prevalence of musculoskeletal diseases (Chapter XIII), accounting for 82.9% of cases, followed by mental and behavioral disorders (Chapter V) at 10.9%. Specifically, the most frequent diagnoses include back pain (36.0%), neck pain (31.4%), and other arthritis (11.9%), alongside specific developmental disorders of speech and language (7.9%) and sequelae of cerebrovascular disease (2.0%). The study concludes that the predominant disease models at the department are musculoskeletal conditions in adults and developmental disorders in children, with a high incidence of back and neck pain. These insights are critical for developing a strategic plan to strengthen services in these key disease chapters, enhancing communication about available treatments, fostering inter-unit collaboration to broaden service offerings, and training human resources. Such efforts are vital to meet the evolving demands for comprehensive rehabilitation examination and treatment, aligning with the general trends in the rehabilitation specialty.
