Abstract

Hospitals played a vital role in healthcare delivery, with medical records being essential for informed decision-making. Increased public health awareness resulted in a rise in patient visits, particularly in dental departments. This research examined the relationship factors between patient visits and dental treatments at Hospital X in Bontang from July to September 2023, focusing on the influences of age and gender. A quantitative observational study included all 375 dental patients during the specified period. Data on demographics and dental treatment procedures were collected and analyzed using Pearson correlation and T-tests. A significant correlation (r = 0.7317) was found between patient visits and treatment complexity. Male patients showed a correlation of 0.398, while female patients had 0.280. T-test results confirmed statistical significance. Demographic factors significantly impacted dental care complexity, highlighting the need for targeted resource allocation to enhance patient outcomes.
