Objective To investigate disease constitution of elderly inpatient in the Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University in Beijing in 2011, so as to provide baseline data for further study. Methods Elderly (patients no less than 60 years old) inpatients’ records in the Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University in 2011 were collected. Based on all the diagnosis on hospital discharge records, the diseases were standardized and classified according to the International Classification of Disease, 10th Edition (ICD-10). Data (including general information of the inpatients, all discharge diagnosis, and the distribution of disease type, age and sex) were analyzed through descriptive analysis using Microsoft Excel 2007 software. SPSS 17.0 software was performed for hypothesis test. Results a) The total numbers of elderly inpatients were 13 807 in 2011, accounting for 39.79% of all the inpatients. Males were more than females (male: female=1.26 to 1). The average kind of disease each patient was diagnosed with was 4.41, ranging from 1 to 11. b) The disease spectrum of patients with one disease was nervous system diseases, neoplasms, and digestive system diseases. The primary and secondary diseases of patients with two diseases were mostly circulatory system diseases. c) All the diagnosis included 18 categories, the top 7 were circulatory system diseases, endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases, digestive system diseases, respiratory system diseases, and nervous system diseases, accounting for 83.4% of all the diagnosis. The primary diagnosis included 18 categories, the top 5 were circulatory system diseases, neoplasms, digestive system diseases, respiratory system diseases, and nervous system diseases, accounting for 68.6% of all the elderly inpatients. d) In the circulatory system diseases, the top 5 diseases were cerebral infarction, occlusion and stenosis of precerebral arteries, not resulting in cerebral infarction, angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis, chronic ischaemic heart disease, accounting for 69.8% of all the circulatory system diseases patients. Diseases in different age and gender group were cerebral infarction, angina, acute myocardial infarction, and chronic ischemic heart disease (Plt;0.05). Conclusion The disease constitution of the Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University is complex, and the primary diagnosis is mainly circulatory system diseases. It can be concluded that in the following studies attention should be paid to drug utilization of circulatory system diseases, so as to provide evidence for making the China specific potentially inappropriate medicine list and disease prevention for the elderly.
ObjectiveTo analyze disease constitution and cost analysis of inpatients in the department of gynaecology of the Chengdu Women's and Children's Central Hospital in 2013, so as to get known of the patients' demands in diagnosis and treatment, and to provide evidence for further studies. MethodsWe collected information of 5 663 cases through medical records in 2013, standardized disease names according to the WHO international classification of diseases (ICD-10), and classified the kinds of diseases according to the first diagnosis of discharge records. Then we adopted the Excel software for data sorting and statistical analysis. Resultsa) Most of the inpatients were women at childbearing age. The diseases pectrum included 13 categories, with the top 3 systematic diseases including diseases during pregnancy/childbirth and puerperium (50.19%); diseases of the genitourinary system (29.31%), and neoplasms (15.54%). b) According to the ICD-10, the top 5 single diseases during pregnancy/childbirth and puerperium were ectopic pregnancy, abortion, missed abortion, threatened abortion, and hyperemesis during pregnancy; the top 5 single diseases of the genitourinary system were endometrial polyps, ovarian endometriosis cyst, uterine adenomyosis, female secondary infertility, and uterus adhesion; the top 5 single diseases of neoplasms were uterine fibroid, ovarian benign tumour, ovarian teratoma, cervical malignant tumour, and cervical carcinoma in situ. c) The average hospital stay in this department in 2013 were 6.31 days, and the average cost per capita were 6 051.10 yuan, with the top 3 kinds of costs including drugs (28.82%), operation (26.32%), and examination (20.09%). ConclusionMost of the inpatients are women at childbearing age in the department of gynaecology of the Chengdu Women's and Children's Central Hospital in 2013. Ectopic pregnancy, abortion and leiomyoma etc., are commonly-seen in this department. The average hospital stay of the inpatients is relatively short. Drugs and surgeries are main costs during hospitalization. Based on commonly-seen gynaecological disease burden, this hospital should urgently need to reinforce the construction of the specialized subjects, look for their own advantages, increase or adjust manpower, material resources and financial investment according to targets, so as to improve the quality and efficiency of medical service.
Objective To investigate the inpatient’s disease and cost constitution of the Third People’s Hospital of Chengdu in 2009, so as to provide baseline data for further research. Methods The case records of inpatients in the Third People’s Hospital of Chengdu in 2009 were collected, and based on the first diagnose, the diseases were classified according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). The data including general information of the inpatients, discharge diagnosis and hospitalization expense etc. were rearranged and analyzed using Excel software. Results a) The total number of inpatients was 1 220, and male was more than female. The disease spectrum included 12 categories. b) A total of 1 093 inpatients suffered from the top 3 systematic diseases as follows: trauma and toxicosis, musculoskeletal system and connective tissue disorders, and the factors affecting health and resulting from contact with health care institutions. Except the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue disorders, the other 2 systematic diseases were mostly seen in male rather than in female. c) According to ICD-10, the top 9 diseases of trauma and toxicosis were injuries to the wrist and hand, injuries to the hip and thigh, injuries to the knee and lower leg, injuries to the shoulder and upper arm, injuries to the lower back, lumbar spine and pelvis, injuries to the elbow and forearm, injuries to the thorax, injuries to the neck and injuries to the ankle and foot; the top 4 diseases in musculoskeletal system and connective tissue disorders were dorsopathies, soft tissue disorders, arthrosis, and osteopathies and chondropathies; among the factors affecting health and resulting from contact with health care institutions, removal of fracture fixation device. d) According to ICD-10 (list of three-digit catalogue and four-digit sub-catalogue), the top 5 single diseases in trauma and toxicosis were muscle and tendon injuries of the wrist and hand, intertrochanteric frature, fracture of the femoral neck, fracture of the tibia and fibula, and fracture of the lumbar spine; the top 5 single diseases in musculoskeletal system and connective tissue disorders were lumbar disc herniation, spondylosis, arthrosis of the knee, osteoporosis with pathological fracture, and osteonecrosis. e) The average hospital stay were 23.55 days, and the average cost per capita were 13 073.73 yuan which were constituted by material cost, drug cost including western and Chinese medicines, treatment expenses including blood transfusion fee, operation expenses including anesthetic fee, examination expenses including radiation fee and laboratory fee, bed fee and others. The inpatient costs were mainly at patient’s own expense, nearly a half of those expenses were paid by social security, and public medical care only accounted for less than 3% of the total payment. Conclusion In 2009: a) The male inpatients were mainly the young and middle-aged, and the female were the elderly. The main 3 systematic diseases were trauma and toxicosis, musculoskeletal system and connective tissue disorders, and the factors affecting health and resulting from contact with health care institutions. Except the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue disorders, the other 2 systematic diseases were mostly seen in male rather than in female. b) The top 3 single diseases were lumbar disc herniation, muscle and tendon injuries of the wrist and hand, and intertrochanteric fracture. Except lumbar disc herniation, the other 2 single diseases were mostly seen in male rather than in female. c) The average hospital stay was 23.55 days. The overall costs were mainly constituted by material and drug cost (59.25%), with rationality worthy of attention. d) Inpatient costs were mainly at patient’s own expense or paid by social security, and the proportion of public medical care was low in the payment.

The data of single disease among top 3 categories of diseases were rearranged and analyzed by Excel software. Results The total of over-60-year old outpatients was 895 123 person-time in 2011, accounting for 19.65%, including 716 826 person-time in specialist outpatient clinics. The specialist diagnoses of 683 491 person-time could be classified by ICD-10, accounting for 95.35% of specialist outpatients. The top 12 diseases were neoplasm, circulatory, digestive, factors influencing health status and contacting with health services, respiratory, musculoskeletal system and connective tissues, nervous, eyes, symptoms/signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, non-classified, mental and behavioral disorders, endocrine, and genitourinary system diseases, and the cumulative constituent ratio was 92.96%. The main pathogenic sites of neoplasm were bronchus and lung (21.98%), esophagus (8.66%), stomach (8.10%), rectum (7.37%), prostate (5.86%), and liver and intrahepatic bile ducts (5.55%), with a cumulative constituent ratio of 57.72%. The main disease burden in circulatory system was hypertension (39.50%), chronic ischaemic heart disease (11.17%), and cerebral infarction (9.70%), and the cumulative constituent ratio was 60.38%. While the main disease burden in digestive system was gastritis and duodenitis (24.98%), other diseases of digestive system (9.26%), and other diseases of liver (8.90%), and the cumulative constituent ratio was 43.13%. There were more female than male among the over-60-year old outpatients (50.67% vs. 49.33%), and male was higher than female only in the incidence of neoplasm, respiratory, factors influencing health status and contacting with health services, and genitourinary system diseases. The disease constitution ratio of 60-69 years old patients was 58.21%. The top 3 neoplasm were the malignant tumors in digestive (38.20%), respiratory and intrathoracic organs (24.70%), and lymphoid, haematopoietic and related tissue (11.97%), with a cumulative constituent ratio of 74.87%. Conclusion The top 3 disease burden of over-60-year old outpatients in West China Hospital were neoplasm, circulatory and digestive diseases, which reflects the trend and law of treatment demands of old patients. It needs to deeply analyze the frequency and flow pattern of patients, and to provide evidence for preventing and treating geriatric diseases.
