Epidemiological characteristics and hospital and inpatient burdens of trauma patients in Xuzhou from 2019 to 2023

This study aimed to analyze the epidemiological features and disease burden of trauma patients in Xuzhou City according to the inpatient data of trauma patients in three tertiary hospitals from 2019 to 2023.
A retrospective analysis of inpatient data for trauma patients in Xuzhou City between January 2019 and December 2023 was conducted to identify epidemiological trends.
A total of 74,070 trauma patients were included. The population was predominantly working-age males (57.90% male, with the 50–59 age group being the largest cohort at 24.10%). The primary causes of trauma were falls (41.30%), road traffic (29.60%), and mechanical injuries (18.50%), with traffic-related incidents accounting for the highest proportion of fatalities (55.7% of deaths). The mean hospital stay was 8.42 days (95% CI: 8.37–8.48). The inpatient mortality was 1.63% (n = 1208).
A synergic impact of occupational exposure, mixed-traffic issues, and a rapidly aging population appears to be the most critical source of trauma burden in industrial cities like Xuzhou. These findings indicate the need for interventions aimed specifically at heightened occupational security, enhanced traffic management, and targeted prevention of falls among the elderly.

In Xuzhou City, trauma primarily affects working-age males, with falls, road traffic incidents, and mechanical injuries being the most common causes.
Road traffic incidents are the leading cause of trauma-related mortality, accounting for over half of all inpatient deaths.
The trauma burden in industrial cities like Xuzhou necessitates targeted interventions focusing on occupational security, enhanced traffic management, and fall prevention for the aging population.

本研究旨在基于徐州市3家三级医院2019—2023年创伤患者住院数据，分析该市创伤患者的流行病学特征与疾病负担。
本研究对2019年1月至2023年12月徐州市创伤患者的住院数据开展回顾性分析，以明确其流行病学趋势。
本研究共纳入74070例创伤患者，人群以男性劳动年龄人口为主（男性占比57.90%，其中50—59岁年龄段为最大群体，占比24.10%）。创伤的主要诱因为跌倒（41.30%）、道路交通事故（29.60%）及机械性损伤（18.50%）；与交通相关的事件占致死病例的比例最高，达55.7%。患者平均住院时长为8.42天（95% CI：8.37—8.48），住院病死率为1.63%（n=1208）。
职业暴露、混合交通问题与快速老龄化的协同影响，似乎是徐州这类工业城市创伤负担的最关键来源。本研究结果提示，需针对性开展干预措施，包括强化职业安全保障、优化交通管理，以及针对老年人群的跌倒预防。

徐州市创伤主要累及男性劳动年龄人口，跌倒、道路交通事故及机械性损伤为最常见的创伤诱因。
道路交通事故是创伤相关死亡的首要原因，占全部住院死亡病例的一半以上。
