Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Urological diseases are an integral part of the surgical burden of diseases. There are national, regional, and global variations. Characterisation of the burden of disease in this specialty is important for the registry and in allocation of the already scarce resource in this sub-region.
UNASSIGNED: This study was aimed at characterising the burden of urological diseases in our teaching hospital as a means towards addressing the gap between resources and urological needs.
UNASSIGNED: It was a retrospective study of new patients seen over 3 years from January 2019 to December 2021 at the urology clinics of Alex-Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital Abakaliki. Data collected included sex, age, and diagnosis. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 26.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 2893 patients were available for analysis, of which 2777 (96%) were male patients whereas 116 (4%) were female patients with a male-to-female ratio of 23.9:1. The mean age of the patients was 58.11 ± 16.76 years. The common presentations were benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) 1515 (52.4%), cancer of the prostate (CAP) 349 (12.1%), urethral stricture disease 268 (9.3%), and urinary tract infection (UTI) 192 (6.6%). In men, the three most common diagnoses were prostate-related diseases 1864 (67.1%), urethral stricture disease 268 (9.70%), and UTI 170 (6.1%), whereas, in women, urolithiasis, urinary tract infection, and hydronephrosis accounted for 50 (43.1%), 22 (19%), and 20 (17.2%), respectively.
UNASSIGNED: BPE, CAP, and urethral stricture disease were the most common presentations in men whereas urolithiasis, UTI, and hydronephrosis were common in women. This knowledge can be used to channel hospital resources appropriately.

摘要：
■泌尿外科疾病是外科疾病负担的一个组成部分。有国家的,区域,和全球变化。该专业的疾病负担特征对于注册和分配该分区域已经稀缺的资源很重要。
■这项研究旨在描述我们教学医院泌尿系疾病的负担，以解决资源和泌尿系需求之间的差距。
这是对从2019年1月至2021年12月在Alex-Ekwueme联邦大学教学医院Abakaliki泌尿科诊所观察到的3年新患者的回顾性研究。收集的数据包括性别，年龄,和诊断。使用SPSS版本26进行数据分析。
■共有2893名患者可用于分析，其中2777例(96%)为男性患者,116例(4%)为女性患者,男女比例为23.9:1.患者的平均年龄为58.11±16.76岁。常见表现为良性前列腺肿大（BPE）1515（52.4%），前列腺癌（CAP）349（12.1%），尿道狭窄疾病268（9.3％），尿路感染（UTI）192（6.6%）。在男人中，三个最常见的诊断是前列腺相关疾病1864（67.1％），尿道狭窄疾病268（9.70%），和UTI170（6.1%），然而,在女性中,尿石症,尿路感染,肾积水占50（43.1％），22（19%），和20（17.2%），分别。
■BPE,CAP,和尿道狭窄疾病是男性最常见的表现，而尿石症，UTI,肾积水在女性中很常见。这些知识可以用于适当地引导医院资源。
