The retrospective data analysis on the pedigree of nervous system diseases in children
Abstract
Nowadays, the development of diagnosis and treatment technology is constantly changing the pedigree and classification of nervous system diseases. Analyzing changes in earlier disease pedigrees can help us understand the changes involved in disease diagnosis from a macro perspective, as well as predict changes in later disease pedigrees and the direction of diagnosis and treatment. The inpatients of the neurology department from January 2012 to December 2020 in Hunan Children's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. There were 36,777 patients enrolled in this study. The next analysis was based on factors like age, gender, length of stay (LoS), number of patients per month and per year (MNoP and ANoP, respectively), and average daily hospital cost (ADHE). To evaluate the characteristics of neurological diseases, we applied a series of statistical tools such as numerical characteristics, boxplots, density charts, one-way ANOVA, Kruskal–Wallis tests, time-series plots, and seasonally adjusted indices. The statistical analysis of neurological diseases led to the following conclusions: First, children having neurological illnesses are most likely to develop them between the ages of 4 and 8 years. Benign intracranial hypertension was the youngest mean age of onset among the various neurologic diseases, and most patients with bacterial intracranial infection were young children. Some diseases have a similar mean age of onset, such as seizures (gastroenteritis/diarrhea) and febrile…
