Objective:
To investigate the trends in mortality of injury among elderly populations at ages of 60 years and greater in Huzhou City from 2010 to 2020, so as to provide the evidence for proposing preventive and control interventions of injury among the elderly.
Methods :
The death of injury among registered residents at ages of 60 years and older in Huzhou City from 2010 to 2020 were collected from Zhejiang Provincial Information Management System for Chronic Disease Surveillance. The mortality and main causes of injury were descriptively analyzed among the elderly, and the trends in mortality were analyzed using annual percent change ( APC ).
Results:
Totally 13 360 deaths occurred due to injury among elderly populations in Huzhou City from 2010 to 2020, and the mortality of injury appeared a tendency towards a rise with years ( APC=3.87%, P<0.05 ). The annual mean mortality and standardized mortality of injury were 199.89/105 and 192.68/105 among elderly populations in Huzhou City from 2010 to 2020. The overall mortality of injury was higher in men than in women during the period from 2010 to 2017, and higher mortality was seen in women than in men in 2020 ( P<0.05 ). The injury mortality in men and in women, and the overall mortality of injury all appeared a tendency towards a rise with ages ( P<0.05 ). The five most common causes of injury included fall ( 82.89/105 ), motor vehicle traffic accidents ( 26.45/105 ), suicide ( 18.52/105 ), drowning ( 16.88/105 ) and shipping accidents except motor vehicle ( 13.77/105 ), which accounted for 79.30% of all deaths due to injury. The mortality of fall in women ( APC=8.87%, P<0.05 ) and the overall mortality of fall ( APC=10.63%, P<0.05 ) both appeared a tendency towards a rise with years.
Conclusion
The mortality of injury appeared a tendency towards a rise and increased with ages among the elderly in Huzhou City from 2010 to 2020. Fall is the leading cause of death due to injury among the elderly.

Objectives To evaluate the effects of "disease-characteristics nursing quality improvement" program(DNQIP)combined with targeted monitoring in reducing the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP)among patients with mechanical ventilation and to provide evidence for the prevention of VAP. Methods This was a prospective intervention study. All mechanical ventilation patients admitted in stroke intensive care unit(SICU)of our hospital from 2007 to 2015 were selected as the research object. Targeted monitoring was implemented in patients admitted from 2007 to 2011,and DNQIP was formed based on the monitoring results. DNQIP combined with targeted monitoring was implemented from 2012 to 2013 as the first phase,and the second phase was from 2014 to 2015.Results From 2007 to 2015,the number of new patients per year and the total time of using breathing machine in SICU presented a tendency of increasing while the number of patients with VAP and the incidence of VAP presented a tendency of decreasing year by year. The implementation of DNQIP in the first phase from 2012 to 2013(incidence of VAP was 5.4 ‰),compared with the data before implementation from 2007 to 2011(incidence of VAP was 13.8‰),the incidence of VAP was significantly reduced(χ2=9.029,P=0.003). The incidence of VAP(5.3‰)in the second phase from 2014 to 2015,was significantly reduced compared with the incidence of VAP(13.8‰)from 2007 to 2011(χ2=9.559, P=0.002).Conclusions The implementation of targeted monitoring is helpful in finding problems existing in the prevention of VAP. DNQIP in patients with mechanical ventilation can effectively reduce the incidence of VAP and can refine professional assessment and health education. It is also good for the standardization and evidence-based care in the whole process provided for patients. DNQIP combined with targeted monitoring can realize the continuous quality improvement on the basis of evidence-based theory.
