Objective To study the distribution and trend of death cases during 14 years in a general hospital in Shenzhen, and to provide reference for reducing the mortality rate and guiding the scientific development of the hospital. Methods The data of 3 975 cases of death from 2003 to 2016 were analyzed retrospectively with Excel 2007 and SAS 9.1 software. Results In the past 14 years, the mortality rate of inpatients in the hospital showed a decreasing trend, with an average mortality rate of 0.72%. The fatality rate of male patients was higher than that of female. The mortality rate of inpatients in December, January and February was higher each year. Among inpatients below 20 years old, the mortality rate of inpatients from 15 years old to 19 years old was the highest (0.41%), followed by those below one year (0.25%). Inpatients over 20 years old showed a gradual increase in mortality rate with the growth of age. The first three causes of death were cancer, circulatory system diseases, and respiratory diseases, accounting for 77.21%. Departments including Intensive Care, Oncology, Minimally Invasive Intervention, Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Neurosurgery, Respiratory Medicine and Hematology were the main departments of death in all clinical departments, accounting for 83.1%.Conclusion The hospital can allocate medical resources in different sex, age, month, disease, department and so on to carry out diversified and multi-level medical service work, so as to improve the survival rate and quality of life of inpatients.
