Abstract：Objective To analyze the characteristics and evolution of the disease spectrum of urology among hospitalized flight crews at the Air Force Medical Center between January of 2002 and December of 2021 in order to provide data for aviation health protection.Methods The clinical data of flight crew members admitted to the Department of Urology between 2002 and 2021 was retrospectively analyzed.Results There were 273 aircrews with genitourinary system diseases,all of whom were males.The diseases with high incidence rates were renal calculi,ureteral calculi,renal cell carcinoma,prostatitis,renal cyst and varicocele.The proportions of renal calculi and adrenal adenoma in 2012-2021 were higher than in 2002-2011,and the difference was of statistical significance(x2=10.030,4.888,P=0.002,0.027).The proportions of renal cell carcinoma,prostatitis and idiopathic hematuria in 2002-2011 were higher than in 2012-2021,with statistical significance(x2=4.253,12.586,10.786,P=0.039,＜0.001,=0.001).The difference in composition ratios of genitourinary diseases between kidney stones,ureteral stones,renal cell carcinoma and renal cyst was statistically significant across age groups(x2=15.488,6.978,15.893,13.627,P＜0.001,=0.031,0.039,0.001).Conclusion Urolithiasis,renal cell carcinoma and prostatitis are common genitourinary diseases that affect the health and safety of aircrews,which deserves more attention.
