    Summary

    Respiratory conditions, particularly upper and lower airway diseases, are most common in pulmonology clinics, with allergies being a frequent cause. Other medical fields also contribute to patient diagnoses.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Allergology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Pulmonology clinics manage a diverse patient population with various health conditions.
    • Upper and lower airway diseases represent the most frequent diagnoses encountered.
    • Allergic conditions, often linked to pollen allergy, are a predominant cause of respiratory complaints.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the prevalence and types of diseases managed in a pulmonology practice.
    • To understand the contribution of different medical specialties to pulmonology caseloads.
    • To identify demographic patterns, including pediatric and geriatric patient populations.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of patient records in a pulmonology specialist's office.
    • Categorization of diseases based on affected anatomical areas (upper/lower airways, lungs).
    • Classification of conditions by underlying cause (e.g., allergic, internistic) and patient age group.

    Main Results:

    • Upper airway diseases (32.8%) and lower airway diseases (49.6%) are the most common conditions.
    • Allergic forms of airway disease are highly prevalent.
    • Internistic diseases (12.8%) and contributions from pediatrics, ENT, and dermatology (3.5% urticaria) are also significant.
    • Pediatric (up to 15 years, ~20%) and geriatric (over 60 years, 10%) patients form substantial portions of the caseload.

    Conclusions:

    • Airway diseases, especially allergic types, dominate pulmonology practice.
    • A comprehensive approach is needed, considering contributions from internal medicine and other specialties.
    • Pulmonology services cater to a wide age range, with significant pediatric and geriatric populations.
