Epidemiological characteristics and related factor analysis of 1706 cases of multiple fractures
Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and treatment of multiple fractures,and provide scientific basis to improve the prevention and treatment strategies of multiple fractures.Methods The age,gender,hospital stay,hospitalization expenses,patient location,complications,education level,occupation,cause of injury,fracture type,internal medicine complications,fracture site,intraoperative blood transfusion,ICU stay,year of injury,etc.of 1706 patients were collected,SPSS 26.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results The incidence rates of multiple fractures were on the rise year by year.The patients mainly came from various regions in Anhui Province,with the largest number in Hefei.The patients with traffic accident injury,education level of"primary school and below",and occupation of"farmers"accounted for the highest proportion.The average age of the patients was(50.1±16.1)years old,with more males than females.The top three most common sites of incidence were the chest,spine,and ankle.There were 1483 cases(86.9%)of closed fractures,and the most common internal medicine disease was hypertension(19.1%).The most common complication was chest injury(22.2%).The average hospitalization time of the patient was(14.6±10.7)days,the average hospitalization cost was(52532.3±57956.3)yuan,and the average number of surgeries was(1.1±0.6).Among 1558 surgical patients,229 underwent allogeneic blood transfusion during surgery,accounting for 14.7%of the total number of surgical patients.149 patients were admitted to the ICU,accounting for 8.7%of the total number of patients.Conclusions Multiple fractures have certain epidemiological distributions in terms of age,gender,education level,cause of injury,complications,etc.Prevention and intervention measures should be taken for high-risk groups according to local conditions.The prevention awareness and ability should be improved,which can effectively reduce the incidence rate and death risk.
