The patients with disability might be treated under general anesthesia according to their disability grade. From January 2011 to September 2017, this study examined whether 3,896 patients (2,342 males and 1,554 females) with disability type and grade were treated under dental general anesthesia in Dankook University Dental Hospital. According to the type of disability, 8,459 cases (36%) were physical disability, 5,009 cases (21%) were mental retardation, and 3,384 cases(15%) were brain lesion disorders. General anesthesia rate was the highest with 247 cases among 936 cases of autistic disorder (26.4%), followed by mental retardation (20.9%) and brain lesion disorders(5.7%). Among patients with these disorders (autistic disorder, mental retardation and brain lesion disorder where general anesthesia rate was high), we observed that those with higher degree of disability (i.e., greater the severity of the disorder) were more likely to be treated under general anesthesia.
