Abstract:
Objective To analyze the distribution spectrum and epidemiological characteristics of 500 patients with accidental injury, and to provide a theoretical basis for targeted preventive measures. Methods Data of 500 pre-hospital emergency patients with accidental injuries were selected from the first aid station in Suining area of Sichuan Province from January 1 to December 31, 2021. The consequences and external causes of accidental injuries were classified according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). The gender, age, time to call for help and disease spectrum of patients were collected as investigation elements. Results Among the 500 cases of accidental injury patients, 48.80% were mainly from 18 to 40 years old. There were significant differences in the proportion of male and female accidental injury patients in different age groups (P<0.05). The distribution spectrum of accidental injury was traffic accident injury, fall injury/collision injury, fight injury, and fall from height injury. Accidental injuries occurred mainly in the brain, limbs and face, and the distribution of brain injuries in different age groups had statistical significance (P<0.05). The occurrence of accidents in different seasons was summer, winter, spring and autumn in sequence. Accidental injuries mainly occurred from 18:00 to 23:59 and from 6:00 to 11:59. Conclusion The main cause of accidental injuries in Suining area of Sichuan Province is traffic accidents, especially during the evening rush hours. The majority of patients are 18 - 40 years old. Safety and health education should be actively strengthened, and the occurrence of traffic accidents should be reduced through all-round and multi-means joint efforts.
