Abstract：Objective To explore the trend of death causes in hospitalized patients by statistical analysis of the deaths of inpatients in a tertiary teaching hospital in Guangzhou from 2012 to 2018. Methods Totally 3243 deaths during the study period were retrieved from the medical record information system. Information including age, sex, and major diagnosis of death was analyzed by SPSS 23.0. Results From 2012 to 2018, there were 3,243 cases of deaths. The average malefemale ratio of deaths was 1.59. The number of death cases over 60 years old was more than half of the total death cases (57.63%). For patients aged 30 to 69 years old, the proportion of death of male was higher than that of female, with the largest difference (3.33%) in the 40 to 49 age group. The main causes of death were tumors, circulatory diseases and respiratory diseases, which exceeded 65% in each studied year. The proportion of deaths caused by tumor diseases showed a downward trend, while that caused by injury and poisoning increased significantly. Conclusion Tumor, circulatory and respiratory diseases are still the main diseases leading to the death of hospitalized patients. It is necessary to pay attention to the prevention and treatment of diseases in elderly patients, and take measures against the increasing numbers of injuries and poisoning leading to the deaths of inpatients.
