Objective To analyze the change trend of hospitalized patients with pulmonary embolism in Wuzhou city during 2004-2014,and analysis of its risk factors.Methods From January 2004 to January 2014,from four comprehensive tertiary hospitals of Wuzhou city,we selected hospitalized cases of pulmonary embolism as investigation subjects,which from 2004 to 2008 were selected as control group,and from January 2009 to January 2014 were selected as observation group.The hospitalization rate,mortality rate and risk factors were compared between the two groups.Results From 2004 to 2008,there were 257 370 cases of hospitalized,pulmonary embolism hospitalized in 52 cases at the same period,accounting for 0.02％ of the total hospitalized cases.From January 2009 to January 2014,there were 367 728 cases of hospitalized,pulmonary embolism hospitalized in 115 cases at the same period,accounting for 0.03％ of the total hospitalized cases.The proportion of pulmonary embolism in total hospitalization between the two groups had statistically significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).From 2004 to 2008,in 52 cases of pulmonary embolism,24 cases (46.15％) died,includef 16 cases(30.7％) died of pulmonary embolism,and the rest 8 cases(15.38％) died of the complication.From 2009 to 2014,in 115 cases of pulmonary embolism,30 cases (26.08％) died,included 23 cases(20.00％) died of pulmonary embolism,and the rest 7 cases(6.08％) died of complications.The difference of the mortality rate in the two periods was statistically significant (x2 =3.879,P ＜ 0.05).52 cases of pulmonary embolism of the control group were selected to study risk factors and basic diseases,the risk factors and basic diseases of pulmonary embolism had 11 kinds,the highest frequency was in lower limb venous thrombosis,followed by surgery and lie in bed for a long time,again for malignant tumor,smoking,fracture,hyperlipidemia,arrhythmia(atrial fibrillation,etc.) and diabetes,etc.Conclusion The hospitalization proportion and mortality trend of hospitalized patients with pulmonary embolism in Wuzhou city remains unchanged,to study the risk factors in order to get a better prevention and treatment measures.
