Abstract:
Objective To describe the distribution of road traffic injuries through hospital based National Injury Surveillance System (NISS). Methods Data of road traffic injuries was descriptively analyzed from Chinese NISS from 2006 to 2008. Results In 2006-2008, road traffic injury was the second leading cause from NISS among attendants in ERs or clinics of the hospitals,with males (64.63%, 64.07%, 64.38% ) more than females (35.37%, 35.93%, 35.62%). People aged 30-44 (36.04%, 34.82%, 34.28% ), 15-29 (30.74%, 31.57%, 30.13%), 45-64 (20.28%, 20.70%,22.80% ) years were seen more than other age groups. The majority of road traffic injuries were unintentional (98.34%, 99.07%, 99.07% ), and mostly injured in head (35.21%, 33.74%, 35.77% )and lower limbs (24.08%, 24.54%, 23.95%) which mainly as bruise (56.47%, 57.92%, 58.89%) and fractures (17.70%, 15.84%, 15.88% ). The severities of injuries were mainly minor ones (63.69%,67.24%, 65.68% ), and mostly went home right after treatments (59.43%, 63.76%, 62.80% ).Conclusion The distribution of road traffic injuries from NISS kept stable from 2006 to 2008. Young and middle aged men were the focus population for road traffic injuries intervention. Further improvement ofNISS, multi-sectional collaboration-based advocacies and education programs as well as the enforcement of road safety law seemed the good practices for road traffic injury prevention.
