Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of inpatients with malignant tumors in a tertiary Chinese medicine hospital from 2017 to 2021, and to provide scientific evidence for the prevention and treatment of malignant tumors.Methods According to the International Classification of Diseases ICD-10, the information system of the homepage of hospital medical records was used to collect the information of inpatients with malignant tumors in a hospital from 2017 to 2021 for retrospective analysis. SPSS software was used for difference analysis and trend analysis.Results In 5 years, 6 377 eligible inpatients with malignant tumors were admitted including 3 758 male patients, accounting for 58.93%, and 2 619 female patients, accounting for 41.07%, with the gender ratio of male to female 1.43∶1. The most inpatients with malignant tumors were 60-69 years old, accounting for 25.81%. There were significant differences in the age distribution of malignant tumor patients with different genders (χ2 =101.91, P<0.001). The distribution of main malignant tumors in different age groups was different, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=1 137.60, P<0.001). The average hospitalization days of malignant tumor patients were 13.14 days, with an average growth rate of 1.05%; the average cost per time was 24 728.74 yuan, with an average growth rate of 4.17%; the average daily hospitalization cost was 1 881.16 yuan, with an average growth rate of 3.02%. Among 6 377 patients with malignant tumors, 2 991 cases (46.90%) were in the top 10, which were as follows: hepatocellular carcinoma, upper lobe lung cancer, bronchial or lung cancer, thyroid cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, rectal cancer, and lower lobe lung cancer, sigmoid colon cancer, and multiple myeloma. In the top 10 malignant tumors, the longest average hospital stay was 15.26 days for multiple myeloma,and the highest average cost was 30 015.57 yuan for multiple myeloma.Conclusion There are gender and age differences in the composition of malignant tumors. Attention should be paid to male and elderly people,and different prevention and control measures should be adopted to reduce the incidence of malignant tumors, strengthen cost control, improve the quality of life, and reduce the burden on patients.
