Epidemiological Characteristics of Death in 3786 Hospitalized Patients
Objectives This study aims to analyze the causes of death of inpatients in a hospital,so as to provide a scientific reference basis for rationally optimizing the allocation of medical resources and formulating health prevention and control policies.Methods A descriptive epidemiological study was used to analyze the inpatient mortality data from January 1,2016 to December 31,2021.The deceased patients were classified according to their gender,age,and occupation,and statistical analysis was performed using the x2 test.Results There were 3786 inpatient deaths.The number of male deaths each year was higher than that of females(x2=17.509,P=0.004).The 70-year-old group had the highest number of deaths.There were overall differences in gender death distribution among each age group(x2=116.918,P＜0.001).Occupational distribution was dominated by retirees,unemployed people,other personnel,and workers(x2=91.770,P＜0.001).The top three causes of death were malignant tumors,heart disease,and cerebrovascular disease.There were statistical differences in the distribution of causes of death in different years.When predicting the first three causes of death from diseases in the first three years and the next three years,the mortality rate of malignant tumors showed a downward trend,heart disease showed an upward trend,and there was no statistical difference in the trend of cerebrovascular diseases.Conclusions The study shows that the cause of death shifts from malignant tumors to heart disease.Hospitals should take effective measures to prevent and treat diseases based on gender,age,occupational characteristics,cause of death,and prediction of deceased patients.
