To analyse the epidemiological characteristics of orthopaedic trauma patients and thereby optimize healthcare resource allocation and improve treatment efficiency.
Relying on the hospital information system (HIS) database, we retrospectively analysed the epidemiological characteristics of orthopaedic trauma inpatients in our hospital between 2013 and 2022, including patient demographic information, causes of injury, location of injury and hospitalization costs.
The median age of the patients was 36 (26-47) years old; the age stratification of the patients was highest in the proportion of patients aged 40-50 years old (29.23%); hypertension was the most common among the patients' comorbidities (1.29%); patients' occupation was highest in heavy labourers such as farmers and workers, about 63.04% ( = 13923); patients' admissions were mainly in the form of emergencies ( = 16875, 76.41%); and patients' median hospitalization time was 7 (5, 12) days. The highest percentage of the cause of injury was due to exposure to inanimate mechanical forces (75.4%), followed by falls (16.14%) and traffic accidents (6.49%). The highest percentage of cause of injury in all age groups was due to inanimate mechanical force, and the percentage of patients with falls increased with age, and there was a positive correlation between age groups and the percentage of patients with falls ( = 0.964, < 0.01). The highest percentage of patients with injuries to the upper extremities was about 74%. The distribution of injury sites in all age groups was highest in the upper extremities. Age was positively correlated with trunk injuries ( = 0.469, = 0.203). The median hospitalization cost for patients over a 10-year period was approximately $1,100.
By analysing the epidemiological characteristics of patients, a general profile of local orthopaedic trauma patients was established, which can help in the development of disease prevention and interventions.
分析骨科创伤患者的流行病学特征，从而优化医疗资源配置并提高治疗效率。
依托医院信息系统（HIS）数据库，我们回顾性分析了2013年至2022年间我院骨科创伤住院患者的流行病学特征，包括患者人口统计学信息、受伤原因、受伤部位及住院费用。
患者的中位年龄为36（26 - 47）岁；患者年龄分层中40 - 50岁患者比例最高（29.23%）；高血压是患者合并症中最常见的（1.29%）；患者职业中农民和工人等体力劳动者占比最高，约63.04%（n = 13923）；患者入院主要为急诊形式（n = 16875，76.41%）；患者中位住院时间为7（5，12）天。受伤原因中比例最高的是暴露于无生命机械力（75.4%），其次是跌倒（16.14%）和交通事故（6.49%）。各年龄组受伤原因中比例最高的均为无生命机械力，跌倒患者比例随年龄增长而增加，年龄组与跌倒患者比例之间存在正相关（r = 0.964，P < 0.01）。上肢受伤患者比例最高，约为74%。各年龄组受伤部位分布中上肢占比最高。年龄与躯干损伤呈正相关（r = 0.469，P = 0.203）。10年间患者的中位住院费用约为1100美元。
通过分析患者的流行病学特征，建立了当地骨科创伤患者的总体概况，这有助于制定疾病预防和干预措施。
