An unbiased search of molecular outflows within the region of the COHRS survey has identified 157 high-mass outflows from a sample of 770 ATLASGAL clumps with a detection rate of 20\%. The detection rate of outflows increases for clumps with higher Mclump, Lbol, Lbol/Mclump, NH2, and Tdust compared to the clumps with no outflow. The detection rates of the outflow increases from protostellar (8\%) to YSO clump (17\%) and to MSF clump (29\%). The detection rate 26\% for quiescent clump is preliminary, because the sample of quiescent clumps is small. A statistical relation between the outflow and clump masses for our sample is log(Mout/M⨀)=(−1.1±0.21)+(0.9±0.07)log(Mclump/M⨀). The detection rate of outflows and the outflow mass-loss rate show an increase with increasing Mclump, Lbol, NH2, and Tdust, which indicates that clumps with outflow with higher parameter values are at a more advanced evolutionary stage. The outflow mechanical force increases with increasing bolometric luminosities. No clear evidence has yet been found that higher mass outflows have different launching conditions than low-mass outflows.
