Abstract
⺠Adults with Down syndrome were hospitalized significantly higher than the general population. ⺠Exceptionally long hospitalizations were seen at the departments of internal medicine, dermatology and intensive care units. ⺠More than a fourth of the hospitalizations were caused by infectious diseases, mostly respiratory infections. ⺠Hypothyroidism was found more prevalent. ⺠This study emphasizes the need for preventive community-based medicine.
