Data including general information of the inpatients and discharge diagnosis etc. were rearranged and analyzed by using Excel and SPSS software.
Results   a) The total numbers of inpatients were 1608, 1328 and 1209 from 2008 to 2010, respectively. Males were fewer than females (48.60% vs. 51.40%, 46.69% vs. 53.31%, 44.58% vs. 55.42%); b) The systematic disease spectrum included 14 categories, which accounted for 66.7% of ICD-10; c) The top three systematic diseases accounted for 85.71%-87.10%, which included the respiratory, digestive, circulatory systematic diseases; d) The total 12 of the top 15 single diseases were the same, including chronic bronchitis, chronic cholecystitis, coronary heart disease, vertebral basilar artery insufficiency, cerebral infarction, acute bronchitis, acute upper respiratory tract infection, pneumonitis, acute tonsillitis, acute gastroenteritis, bronchopneumonias and acute enteritis; and e) The inpatients with acute diseases were more than those with chronic ones in 2008 and 2009, and they were mainly equal to or younger than 15 years old; while in 2010, the acute diseases were fewer than the chronic ones, and they were mainly seen in patients equal to or more than 65 years old, and males were more than females.
Conclusion   a) In recent three years, the main systematic diseases that inpatients have suffered are respiratory, digestive and circulatory diseases. The chronic diseases focus mainly on chronic bronchitis and coronary heart disease, while the acute diseases mainly are infectious diseases; b) The top 15 single diseases are stable since 12 of them are the same; and c) Further attention should be paid to the inpatients with chronic diseases over 65 years old and those with acute ones younger than 15 years old.
