Abstract：Objective To investigate the characteristics of hospitalized injury cases in Huangpu District, Guangzhou City in 2022, so as to provide evidence for optimizing injury prevention interventions. Methods Data on hospitalized injury cases admitted between January to December 2022 were collected through the hospitalization registry system from 17 healthcare institutions in Huangpu District. The population distribution characteristics, causes of injury, injury sites, duration of hospital stay, and hospitalization costs were descriptively analyzed. Results A total of 6 729 hospitalized injury cases were reported in Huangpu District in 2022, including 4 277 males and 2 452 females, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.74∶1. The average age was (49.57±19.82) years, with 2 064 cases (30.67%) aged 45 to <60 years and 1 921 cases (28.55%) aged ≥60 years. The median length of hospitalization was 9.00 (interquartile range, 11.00) days, with median hospitalization costs of 15 968.93 (interquartile range, 25 786.69) yuan. In the months of June to August, there were more cases of injury hospitalization,with 1 904 cases accounting for 28.30%. The top three causes of injury were falls (2 895 cases, 43.02%), transportation accidents (1 247 cases, 18.53%) and exposure to inanimate mechanical forces (1 104 cases, 16.41%). The top three injured sites were lower limb injuries (1 850 cases, 27.49%), upper limb injuries (1 596 cases, 23.72%) and other sites (1 178 cases, 17.51%). The three leading causes of injury with longest hospitalization duration were burns and scalds, transport accidents and falls, with the median duration being 12.00 (interquartile range, 8.00) days, 10.00 (interquartile range, 13.00) days and 10.00 (interquartile range, 11.00) days, respectively. The top three injury sites associated with the longest hospitalization duration were others, lower limb injuries, and head and neck injuries, with the median duration being 11.00 (interquartile range, 13.00) days, 11.00 (interquartile range, 11.00) days, and 10.00 (interquartile range, 12.00) days, respectively. The causes of injury associated with higher hospitalization costs were falls and transportation accidents, with the median hospitalization cost being 23 550.13 (interquartile range, 30 087.76) yuan for falls and 20 301.94 (interquartile range, 30 589.86) yuan for transportation accidents. The injury sites associated with higher hospitalization costs were lower limb injuries and upper limb injuries, with the median hospitalization cost being 24 257.32 (interquartile range, 34 145.54) yuan for lower limb injuries and 16 506.33 (interquartile range, 20 052.27) yuan for upper limb injuries. Conclusions In Huangpu District, hospitalized injury mainly occurred among males and individuals aged ≥45 years, with the higher incidence observed between June and August. Fall was the primary cause of injury, while lower limb injuries was the main injury sites. The injury resulted in substantially higher hospitalization costs.
