Results In total, 16 102 cases were admitted to our hospital from February 2009 to November 2016, in which falls and traffic accidents accounted for 8506 cases (52.8%) and 4091 cases (25.4%) respectively. From February 2009 to December 2014, the number of emergencies increased significantly, and declined slowly from January 2015 to November 2016.

The majority of all kinds of emergencies were not clinically confirmed at the time of admission, with 7386 cases (45.9%), of which traffic accidents were the highest (2275 cases, 55.6%). The number of patients hospitalized between one and two weeks was the highest, with 6689 cases (41.5%), and the proportion of patients with falls was the highest (46.3%).
