Abstract：Objective To explore the clinical features of patients with overlength hospitalization days, in order to provide basis for shortening average hospitalization days, rational utilization of medical resources and improving the hospital management level.Methods Based on the information of the first page of medical records of patients discharged from a tertiary general hospital in Bao′an District of Shenzhen from 2006 to 2020, patients with overlength hospitalization were analyzed and stratified by year, gender, age, International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), discharge departments and disease distribution.Results Among 330-478 discharged patients, 6905 patients (2.09%) were with overlength hospitalization. There were 4978 male patients (72.09%) and 1927 female patients (27.91%); patients aged 30 to less than 45 years old accounted for the largest proportion, with 2115 cases (30.63%), followed by those aged 45 to less than 60 years old with 1795 cases (26.00%); discharged patients were mainly from the surgery (71.60%) and internal medicine departments (27.10%). The first two kinds of ICD-10 diseases were injury, poisoning and some other consequences of external causes, with 4008 cases (58.04%), followed by circulatory diseases with 1162 cases (16.83%). The top three diseases were intracranial injury, fracture of leg (including ankle) and intracerebral hemorrhage, with 1697 cases (24.58%).Conclusion Patients with overlength hospitalization were mainly in surgery and internal medicine departments, and and the length of hospitalization was long and the cost was high, so the hospital management department should scientifically manage and shorten the length of hospitalization of patients with overlength hospitalization.
