[An epidemiological survey of gallstones with gray-scale ultrasound].
摘要
Gray-scale real-time ultrasound has been employed to investigate gallstone with a positive result of 553 cases out of 15,856 healthy subjects in city and countryside, the incidence being 34.88%. The feature of incidence is as follows: 1. The incidence of the simple gallbladder stone is more common than that of the other sites (male is about 81.15%, female is about 87.29%); 2. The incidence of gallstones of city residents is higher than that of the country people with significant difference statistically (P less than 0.01); 3. The incidence of gallstone in female city residents is higher than male, about 2.5:1, which shows significant difference. (P less than 0.01); 4. The incidence of gallstones in female city residents is higher than in countryside (P less than 0.01); 5. There is no significant difference in the incidence of gallstone between male and female in the countryside (P greater than 0.05); 6. There is no significant difference in the incidence of gallstones between city male and the male in the countryside (P greater than 0.05); 7. Either in the city or in the countryside, it has been shown that there is a tendency of increasing incidence of gallstone with age in both sexes (P less than 0.01). The relationship between the gallstone and the clinical symptoms has been discussed in this paper.
