ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the death and disease burden of injury in Guangxi from 2014 to 2016, so as to provide scientific basis for making policy strategies on injury prevention. Methods Datas from the Death Monitoring Network in Guangxi from 2014 to 2016 were analyzed. Descriptive statistics and Chi square were used to describe the mortalities. The potential years of life lost (YPLL) and average years of potential life lost(AYPLL) were assessed. Results A total of 29 288 deaths were reported in Guangxi. The mortality rate was 42.77/100 000. The overall mortality rate decreased over the past three years. Traffic accident, accidental fall, drowning, suicide and sequela, accidental poisoning were the top five causes of injury deaths. The leading cause of injury death in the 0 to 14 age group was drowning, traffic accident in the 15 to 64 age group and accidental fall in the 65 years old and above group. The AYPLL was 29.11 years and, which was higher in male than in female and there was no significant difference between urban and rural. Suicide and sequela had become the biggest average disease burden. Conclusions The average mortality rate decreased in Guangxi from 2014 to 2016. It is necessary to take effective measures to prevent and control injury.
