Abstract

Background: In the past fifteen years, more and more rhabdomyolysis patients were diagnosed. The cause of this disease was different. As a doctor, he/she should find out what happened to rhabdomyolysis patients. Objective: To analyze the clinical epidemiological data of inpatients with rhabdomyolysis, to grasp the occurrence pattern of rhabdomyolysis, and furnish the basis for formulating targeted preventive measures. Methosds: The clinical data were collected from inpatients with rhabdomyolysis in Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province in recent 15 years. The above indicators were statistically processed using health statistics and the trend of changes in the disease over the past 15 years was evaluated. Results: There were 573 inpatients with rhabdomyolysis with a male-to-female ratio of 2.27:1, an age of onset of 1 to 91 years and the median age of 47 years. There were 105 patients with acute renal insufficiency, 158 with abnormal liver function and 35 with hyperkalemia. Common causes comprise infection (223 patients), trauma (171 patients), poisoning (82patients), hypokalemia (59 patients), etc. The number of inpatient cases was significantly higher between 2011 and 2015 compared to the period between 2006 and 2010. The mortality rate in the underage group was 0, which was lower than other age groups. Conclusion: Rhabdomyolysis is more common in male than in female. Common causes encompass infection, trauma and so on. Prognosis is correlated with age, gender, etiology, timeliness of diagnosis and treatment. We should emphasize early diagnosis and early treatment, bearing the idea of “prevention first” in mind.
