Abstract Objective To investigate the demographic characteristics and disease spectrum of inpatients from foreign countries in General Hospital of Xinjiang in 2010-2014, and to provide a basis for improving the foreign medical service and management level. Methods The general information and clinical data of foreign inpatients in The people′ Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from January 2010 to December 2014 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Results Totally 2 816 patients were enrolled in this study. Among them there were 1 379 males and 1 437 females, with an average age of 43.4 years old. The majority of patients (58.8%) were between 30 and 59 years old. But the composition ratio of foreign patients aged 20 to 29 increased from 2010 to 2014, reflecting younger trend of foreign patients in Xinjiang, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =42.57,P=0.011). These 2 816 patients were from 34 countries and regions, most of whom were from Kazakhstan (80.26%), and patients from Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia were on the rise in recent five years (χ2=208.85, P<0.01). Surgical oncology department had the largest number of patients (10.05%). The factors influencing health status and contact with the health care organization occupied 14.10% of the total, followed by circulatory system diseases, musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases, digestive system diseases and tumors. The proportion of circulatory system diseases, musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases were declining in recent five years (χ2=35.174, P=0.019). Conclusion Most foreign patients came from Central Asia. The hospital should fully embody the idea of multiculturalism, establish good communication with patients, and improve the details of the process. Besides favorable hospitalization environment and patient-centered services, coordination among different departments is also needed to offer high quality and effective medical services for these patients.
