Abstract:Objective To analyze of the epidemiological characteristics of the pre-hospital firs aid trauma so as to provide the reference for the pre-hospital first aid plan and resource allocation.Methods ICD-10 was used to codify the disease. We used Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test to compare the incidence, relative risk (RR) and proportion of the trauma.Results Totally 12 582 trauma cases, occupying 25.2%, were registered in the system and the trauma incidence rate was 478.5/one hundred thousand. The period 16:00-18:00 of a day was the peak, occupying 11.9%, and a number of 7376 trauma cases, occupying 58.6% were found in summer and autumn. There was significant difference between the incidence of male 653.8/one hundred thousand and female 290.5/105(χ2=1819.128,P<0.001), and RR was 2.25. The population aged 18-60,occupied the greatest proportion of 80.1% (10 078 cases) among the age groups (χ2=1141.29,P<0.001). The top cause of trauma was road accident(28.5%)and the first site of trauma was head(32.6%). The causes of trauma were significantly different between genders (χ2=350.151,P<0.001) and age groups (χ2=3696.133,P<0.001),respectively.Conclusions There is high incidence of trauma in Urumqi with the characteristics of high level of male, summer and autumn and young population. Road accidents and head injury are the main causes and trauma sites. Some measures should be taken to improve the trauma medication. These Results provide the reference for the scientific allocation of the emergency medical resources and emergency medical plan.
