ABSTRACT
Objective@#To analyze the trend of the fall death rate in Ningbo,and to provide reference for prevention and control of fall death. @*Methods @#The data of fall mortality in Ningbo from 2002 to 2018 was collected to calculate the crude mortality rate,standardized mortality rate,age specific mortality rate and the proportion of fall death types. Joint Point Regression was used to evaluate annual percentage change（APC）of fall mortality. @*Results @#The average annual crude and standardized mortality rate of fall in Ningbo was 16.81/100 000 and 11.18/100 000,showing an upward trend from 2002 to 2018（P<0.05）. The standardized mortality rate of fall was 11.57/100 000 in men and 10.41/100 000 in women,and the difference was statistically significant（P<0.05）,both showing an upward trend from 2002 to 2018（P<0.05）. The standardized mortality rate of fall was 11.07/100 000 in urban residents and 11.25/100 000 in rural residents,and the difference was statistically significant（P<0.05）,both showing an upward trend from 2002 to 2018（P<0.05）. The mortality rate of fall increased with age（P<0.05）. The mortality rate of fall showed a small peak in children less than five years old（1.81/100 000）,and began to rise rapidly in people aged 65 years or over and peaked again in people aged 85 years or over. There were 11 141 cases died of falling on the same plane,accounting for 68.25%. Fall deaths occurred mainly at home,with 11 829 cases（72.46%）.@*Conclusion @#The mortality rate of fall in Ningbo increased from 2002 to 2018. The males,urban residents,people aged less than five years and aged 65 years or older have high risk of death from fall,who were targets for prevention and control strategies of fall.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of hospitalized children with burn in Ningbo from 2013 to 2018,and to provide evidence for developing intervention strategies. @*Methods@#The pediatric burn cases,discharged from the Ningbo Women & Children's Hospital from 2013 to 2018,were registered using the Ningbo Hospitalized Injury Monitoring Report Card,and their distributions of time,places,groups,involved body parts and prognosis were analyzed. @*Results@#There were 3 862 pediatric burn inpatients included in this study,with 2 977（77.08%）cases aged 1-3 years and 2 532（65.65%）nonlocal cases. About 898（23.25%）cases occurred during 9:00-12:00 a.m. and 1 833（47.46%）cases occurred during 17:00- 21:00 p.m. Burns predominantly occurred at home,with 3 810（98.65%）cases. The top three body regions involved were multiple regions,lower limbs and upper limbs with 1 820（47.13%）,835（21.62%）and 541 cases（14.01%）. The proportions of involving multiple regions declined with age（Psingle<0.05）. The proportion of involving multiple regions in nonlocal children was higher than that of local children（P<0.05）. @*Conclusion@#Burn is one of the leading causes of child injury-related hospitalization in Ningbo. Home is the main burn scene. Nonlocal and 1-3 year-old children were especially at high risk of burns.
