Results There are some periodic variations in the number of emergency department visits. In the past four years, 243 218 patients have been admitted to the emergency department, and the number of emergency patients was on the rise, with more males (52.0%) than females (48.0%). The peak months of emergency visits were April, May, June, July, September and October, with the largest number of patients in May. The minimum number of the emergency visits occurred in January, February and March, and the number of patients was the least in February. The third quarter was the peak, and the first quarter was the trough. Monday, Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday were the peak time for medical treatment, and the highest peak was Sunday. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday were the lower period, and Friday was the lowest period. The daytime peak was from 12∶〖KG-*2/3〗00 to 14∶〖KG-*2/3〗00, and the night peak was from 22∶〖KG-*2/3〗00 to 24∶〖KG-*2/3〗00.Conclusion There are certain seasonal changes in the number of patients in the emergency department of the hospital, which has a certain reference role in scientifically allocating emergency department medical staff, optimizing the treatment process and improving the quality management of medical care.
