Comparison of Morbidity Rates of Communicable and Non-communicable Diseases at Humana Prima Hospital

Abstract

This study aims to compare morbidity rates between infectious and non-communicable diseases at Humana Prima Hospital, and analyze the relationship between gender and age with the type of disease suffered by patients. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was used in this study. Data were collected from patients medical records during the period January to April 2025. A total of 100 samples were randomly selected from a population of 6,809 patients. The analysis showed that the prevalence of non-communicable diseases was higher (65%) than communicable diseases (35%). There was a significant association between gender and disease type (p=0.001), with male patients more likely to suffer from communicable diseases, while females were more prone to non-communicable diseases. In addition, the age distribution showed that the age group above 50 years dominated the number of patients. In terms of reporting, the reporting systems for communicable and non-communicable diseases have different processes and time limits, potentially affecting data accuracy and completeness. Therefore, system optimization is crucial to improve the validity of epidemiological data, which can then be used as a basis for decision-making in the health sector.
