Analysis of Disease Spectrum of 490,913 Discharged Patients from a Tertiary Hospital in Ningxia
Objectives This study aims to analyze the changes in gender,age,and disease spectrum of 490,913 discharged patients from a tertiary hospital in Ningxia,so as to provide theoretical support for clarifying regional medical work priorities,rationally allocating medical resources,and building key disciplines.Methods A retrospective analysis method was used to analyze the age,gender and other disease spectrum of 490,913 discharged patients from a tertiary hospital in Ningxia from January 1,2018 to December 31,2022.The data collation and analysis were carried out by Excel2021 and SPSS21.0 software.P<0.05 difference was statistically significant.Results Among the patients discharged from the hospital in the past five years,231,123 were male patients(47.08%)and 259,790(52.92%)were female patients,with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1.13.In different years,except for the different order of the top 10 diseases in the disease spectrum,there were no other types of diseases.Respiratory diseases(44.41%)ranked first in the disease spectrum in the 0-14 age group.Pregnancy,childbirth and puerperium diseases(32.61%)ranked first in the disease spectrum in the 15-44 age group.Circulatory system diseases ranked first among the 44 to 59-year-old group and the 60-year-old and above group.In the gender classification of disease spectrum,circulatory system,respiratory system,digestive system,ocular and appendage diseases were among the top five diseases in discharged patients of both sexes,while pregnancy,childbirth and puerperal diseases ranked first among female discharged patients.Conclusions Respiratory system diseases,circulatory system diseases,digestive system diseases,ocular and appendage diseases,diseases during pregnancy,childbirth and puerperium are still the focus of current hospital medical treatment.Resources should be reasonably allocated based on factors such as disease spectrum and population characteristics,so as to promote the development of hospitals.
