Abstract		Background. Physically and emotionally strenuous work, connected with exposure to physical, chemical and biological factors, could influence morbididty and mortality of physicians. Data from literature show that physicians die less often than general population, but still more frequently than the members of the same socio-economic class. Beside that different specialists have different mortality rates and some causes of death are more common in physicians than in the general population. With the analysis we tried to establish what are the mortality rates of Slovene physicians compared to the general population, due to which causes they die of more often and if we have any groups of physicians who would be at higher risk of dying than other physicians. Methods. This analysis shows the comparison of mortality patterns of ten year cohorts (generations) of physicians with the corresponding birth cohorts of the general population of Slovenia in two intervals of the period 1985 to 1999. We obtained our data from the Health Care Providers Database and databases of the deceased in the Republic of Slovenia in the years 1985 to 1999. We calculated specific mortality rates of physicians in each birth cohort in the observed period and compared them with the specific mortality rates of the corresponding birth cohorts of the general population. We analysed mortality by gender, cause of death and speciality. Specialities were aggregated into internistic, surgical, radiologic, general medicine, anatomo-morphological and others.

Summary		IzhodiščA. Fizično in čustveno naporno delo, povezano z izpostavljenostjo fizikalnim, kemičnim in biološkim dejavnikom, bi lahko vplivalo na zbolevnost in umrljivost zdravnikov. Podatki kažejo, da zdravniki umirajo nekoliko manj pogosto kot ostali prebivalci, a še vedno pogosteje kot pripadniki istega socialnoekonomskega razreda. Zdravniki različnih specializacij imajo različne stopnje umrljivosti, nekateri vzroki smrti so med zdravniki zastopani pogosteje kot med ostalimi prebivalci. Z analizo smo želeli ugotoviti, kolikšne so stopnje umrljivosti slovenskih zdravnikov v primerjavi z ostalo populacijo, zaradi katerih vzrokov smrti le-ti pogosteje umirajo kot ostali prebivalci in ali imamo tudi pri nas skupine zdravnikov z večjo nevarnostjo za smrt kot ostali zdravniki. Metode. Analiza predstavlja primerjavo umrljivosti desetletnih rojstnih kohort (rojev) zravnikov z ustrezajočimi rojstnimi kohortami prebivalcev Slovenije v dveh obdobjih znotraj let 1985-1999. Podatke smo pridobili iz zbirke podatkov o izvajalcih zdravstvenega varstva (BPI) in zbirk podatkov o umrlih ter prebivalcih Slovenije v letih 1985 do 1999. Računali smo specifične stopnje umrljivosti zdravnikov v vsaki rojstni kohorti v posameznem obdobju opazovanja in jih primerjali z umrljivostjo pripadajočih rojstnih generacij ostalih prebivalcev. Umrljivost smo ocenjevali po spolu, vzrokih smrti in specializaciji. Specializacije smo združili v nekirurške klinične, kirurške, radiološke, specializacije na primarni ravni zdravstvenega varstva, anatomsko morfološke ter ostale. (Izvleček prekinjen pri 2000 znakih.)
