Abstract：Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of hospital patients with traffic injuries in Dalian to provide a reference for prevention and in-hospital management of traffic injuries. Methods A total of 20 744 cases of traffic injuries hospitalized between January 2006 and December 2012 were collected.In-hospital death counted for 673 cases (3.24％).Retrospective analysis was performed on the sex,age,admission date and outcome. Results In-hospital death from traffic injuries declined from the year 2006 to 2012,especially in the year 2012 (x2 =6.30,P ＜0.05).Inhospital mortality showed significant differences within a week other than in different months or holidays (x2 =17.38,P ＜0.01).The male to female ratio of the hospitalized was 1.96:1,with mortality in males higher than that in females (x2 =25.14,P ＜0.01).Patient age mostly ranged from 20 to 60 years (75.20％).Mortality varied in different age groups (x2 =102.50,P ＜0.01) and the highest mortality (6.27％) was observed in the aged group (＞65 years). Conclusion With epidemiological analysis of in-hospital traffic injury patients,prevention measures should be developed for the population with high risk of traffic injuries and at the accidents period to ultimately minimize the harm of traffic injuries.
