| Summary |
"In 2007-08, general practitioners managed respiratory problems more than any other condition (19% of all encounters) and in 2006, diseases of the respiratory system were the third most common underlying causes of death (8%). In 2004-05, Australia spent $3.3 billion directly on respiratory diseases, making this the sixth highest disease expenditure group. This report highlights the epidemiology of each of the main respiratory diseases and highlights their differences and similarities."--P. ix |
