Abstract

Objective To study the epidemiological characteristics of patients triaged in the emergency department during COVID-19 pandemic in our hospital in 2020 to provide a reference basis for further optimizing the diagnosis and treatment services, response measures, and management strategies in the emergency department. Methods The triage registration records of 44, 739 emergency patients who visited the First People’s Hospital of Yunnan Province from January 1 to December 31, 2020, were retrospectively collected, and a database was established. Epidemiological characteristics were analyzed based on age, sex, visiting season, disease grading, and way of visiting the hospital. Results Among the 44, 739 emergency patients, 20, 923 （47%） were male and 23, 816 （53%） were female. The age ranged from 0.2 to 110 years old, with 25, 828 cases （58%） mainly among 45 to 59 years old. The maximum number of patients visited in summer was 12, 449 （28%）, followed by 11, 558 （26%） in autumn; the peak hours of visits were mainly from 9:00 am to 12:00 am and from 3:00 to 9:00 pm; 77% of the patients came to the clinic by taxi and by foot, and 12% by ambulance; The proportion of patients with disease grading was grade I （12%）, grade II （10%）, grade III （58%）, and grade IV （21%）. Conclusion A comprehensive tertiary hospital in Kunming has more female than male emergency patients, and their ages are mainly between 45 and 59 years old; the summer is the peak season for consultation, and the daily consultation peaks are mainly on 9:00-12:00 a.m and 15:00-21:00 p.m.The emergency department should combine the current COVID-19 epidemic control requirements with reasonable allocation of emergency medical resources.
