Objectives This study aims to explore the characteristics of hospitalization distribution in children aged 0-14 with malignant tumors,so as to provide a basis for the prevention and treatment of childhood malignant tumors.Methods Data on childhood malignant tumors from 2002 to 2017 were selected from the database of the hospital-based cancer registry established by a hospital in Nantong,and were checked,pooled,and analyzed for characteristics of gender,age,tumor sites,number of hospitalizations,and hospitalization characteristics.Linear regression analysis for hospitalization trends in children was performed by using Statsmodels in Python and implemented on ChatGPT.Results From 2002 to 2017,there were 127 cases of childhood malignant tumors,including 72 boys(56.69％)and 55 girls(43.31％).The top 5 childhood malignancies were lymphoma,brain and central nervous system tumors,bone malignancies,ovarian cancer,and leukemia,accounting for 59.06％of the total number of cases.The average age of children with malignant tumors at first diagnosis was 10.03(±3.46)years old,and the median age was 11 years old.The number of hospitalized children was highest in the 10 to 14-year-old age group.Each pediatric malignant tumor patient was hospitalized an average of 2.09 times.Over the past 16 years,the number of hospitalizations for children with malignant tumors generally showed a downward trend.Conclusions Most of the hospitalized patients with malignant tumors are boys,mostly between 10 and 14 years old.Lymphoma,brain and central nervous system tumors are the most common childhood tumors.The diagnosis and treatment of childhood tumors deserve attention.
