Characteristics of Patients Treated by Podiatrists. United States-1970

摘要

From information collected in a national survey of podiatrists conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics in 1970, statistics are presented on patients treated by podiatrists in the course of 1 week. Patients are statistically described in terms of their sex, age, and geographic distribution and by selected professional characteristics of the podiatrists who treated them and by the clinical setting where they were treated, e.g., private office, nursing home, patient's home, hospital, or nonhospital clinic.
