Abstract：Objective To research the distribution characteristics of inpatient death cases, and to provide theoretical basis for disease prevention and treatment measures in hospitals.Methods The first page information of inpatient death records from a tertiary hospital in Guiyang from 2017 to 2021 was collected, and the cause of death was classified according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). The distribution characteristics of several factors such as sex, age, season and cause of death were statistically analyzed by T-test and chi square test.Results There were 4 452 cases of inpatient death in the hospital in the past five years, which showed a decreasing trend overall (χ2=113.45, P<0.001). The male mortality rate was 0.51%, higher than that of the female 0.29%. There were statistically significant differences in mortality among different age groups (χ2=6 133.08, P<0.001), among which the proportion of death over 65 years old was higher than that in other age groups (60.27%). The proportion of death in winter was 26.44%, higher than that in other seasons. The top three causes of death were circulatory diseases, respiratory diseases and tumors.Conclusion It is necessary to strengthen the medical prevention and management for male and elderly patients, and strengthen the prevention and treatment of key diseases such as cerebrovascular diseases, so as to reduce the mortality in hospitals.
