Objective To analyze the current situation and the trend of the death due to foreign body in airway in children less than 5 years old in China from 1990 to 2017. Methods Using the mortality data of foreign body in airway in China from 1990 to 2017 from the Global Disease Burden 2017 (data covered 31 provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities, as well as Hong Kong and Macau Special Administrative Regions, excluding Taiwan Province) to describe the death status of children under 5 years old due to foreign body in airway in China, and to calculate the relative change and 95% uncertainty interval ( UI ) of mortality rate and proportion of children under 5 years old due to foreign body in airway between 1990 and 2017. The robust linear regression was performed with the first?order lag of mortality, and the supremum Wald test was used to explore whether the mortality trend had obvious structural changes around a certain time point. Results In 2017, the mortality rate of children under 5 years old due to foreign body in airway in China was 8.57/100 000 (95%UI : 7.41/100 000-9.57/100 000), and there was no significant difference between boys (9.05/100 000, 95%UI : 6.82/100 000-10.23/100 000) and girls (8.02/100 000, 95%UI : 7.02/100 000-9.12/100 000). The supremum Wald test showed that there was a structural change around the year of 2005 (P<0.001) in terms of the mortality rate of foreign body in the airway among children under 5 years old, which depicted a relatively stable trend before 2005 and a significant downward trend after 2005. Compared with 1990, the mortality rate of foreign body in airway among children, boys and girls under 5 years old in 2017 decreased by 49.32% (95%UI : 37.78% - 65.41%), 41.22% (95%UI :25.68%-68.26%) and 56.91% (95%UI: 44.78%-66.70%), respectively; the mortality proportion of foreign body in airway among increased by 153.33% (95%UI : 75.99% - 204.56%), 171.05% (95%UI :48.75%-239.63%) and 137.90% (95%UI: 86.62%-198.09%), respectively; the rank of foreign body in airway in all disease increased by 6 and became the first leading cause of injury from the second. Conclusion From 1990 to 2017, the mortality rate of foreign body in airway among children, boys and girls under 5 years old in China generally showed a downward trend. Compared with 1990, the mortality proportion of foreign body in airway among these population increased by a relatively large extent in 2017.

Objective To describe the epidemiological characteristics of suicide death and self?harm/suicide in China from 2006 to 2016. Methods Data in this study are from the datasets of National Death Cause Surveillance from 2006 to 2016 and the National Injury Surveillance Dataset 2016. The age?standardized death rate based on the population census in 2000 was used to describe the trend of suicide over years. This study also described the epidemiological characteristics of suicide death and the demographic characteristics, suicide methods and severity of patients who sought medical help after committing suicide or self?inflicted injury in 2016. Results Age?standardized suicide mortality had been declining from 9.23/100 000 in 2006 to 5.33/100 000 in 2016 by 42.25%. Suicide mortality increased with age. In 2016, the suicide mortality in China was 7.05/100 000, and among people over 85 years old was 49.49/100 000. In 2016, the dominant two suicide methods were poisoning (39.12%) and sharp injury (25.62%). The first leading method of suicide in rural population, urban population and young people aged 10?to 17?year?old was poisoning (65.13%), sharp injury (29.90%) and fall (25.47%), respectively. As age increased, the severity of suicide/self?inflicted injury increased. The proportions of serious cases among young people aged 10?to 17?year?old and older people aged 60 years old and above who sought medical help after committing suicide or self?inflicted injury were 4.88% and 26.86%, respectively. Conclusion China's suicide mortality has been declining and special attention should be given to the suicide of old people.

As an important component of worldwide injury prevention, China has made great contribution to the development. China is serving as a model for other countries in the world, especially for developing countries, and China's experiences have great implications for them. Besides the description of the present situation and trends of China's injury prevention work and review for its development history, this paper has also introduced the existing issues and the current challenges, and informed the efforts of the staff in related field to find solutions from different aspects. All of them jointly boosted the development of global injury prevention.

Objective: To describe the trends and potential reasons responsible for injury mortality among children under 18 years old in different stages of the China Children’s Development Outlines (CCDO) for children from 1990 to 2017, in China. Methods: Data derived from the Global Burden of Disease 2017 (GBD2017) were used to analyze the change of injury mortality, among children under 18 years old, by sex and provinces. Results: Since 1990, the Chinese government had formulated and implemented three CCDOs on Children. Each CCDO proposed corresponding main targets and strategic measures based on the development of children under current situation, in each area, accordingly. The first two CCDOs failed to set clear targets for child injury prevention and control, but the third one did propose a quantifiable target. The injury mortality rate of children under 18 years old showed a declining trend in all periods of the three CCDOs, by 26.07%, 40.68% and 26.48%, respectively. Both boys and girls showed significant downward trend in these three stages. Mortality rate on child injury differed in these three stages in all the 31 provinces. Conclusion Thanks to the contribution of CCDO in different stages that providing important policies and impetus for the prevention and control of child injury, the number of deaths caused by child injury kept reducing, from 1990 to 2017, in China.

Objective: To understand the status and trend of the mortality rate of falls in different gender, age groups and provinces in China from 1990 to 2015, to explore the number of subgroups of different trends in all provinces, and to determine the different trajectory of subgroups. Methods: Using the mortality rate of falls in China from 1990 to 2015 from the Global Disease Burden 2015 (data covers 31 provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities, as well as Hong Kong and Macau Special Administrative Regions, excluding Taiwan Province) to describe the status of the mortality rate of falls in different gender, age group and provinces in China 2015 and to calculate the corresponding relative change. Using log linear model to calculate the annual percent changes from 1990 to 2015. The number of subgroups and corresponding characteristics of different trajectories were analyzed by trajectory model to analyze with four indicators, P value of the coefficient of independent variables with different orders in all subgroups, Bayesian information criterion, log Bayes factor and average posterior probability. Results: In 2015, the age standardized mortality rate of falls in China was 8.38/100 000 (95%UI: 5.54/100 000-9.30/100 000), which was higher in men (10.81/100 000, 95%UI: 6.58/100 000-12.14/100 000) than that in women (5.84/100 000,95%UI: 3.41/100 000-6.62/100 000), and in the elderly aged 70-year-old and above (60.50/100 000, 95%UI: 38.36/100 000-67.75/100 000) than that in other age groups. From 1990 to 2015, there was no obvious change in the age standardized mortality rate of falls in total population, men and women with average percent change about 0.37 (95%UI: -0.08-0.83), 0.45 (95%UI: 0.05-0.84) and 0.31 (95%UI: -0.26-0.87) respectively, but a significant decrease and increase could be seen in children under 15-year-old, especially under 5-year-old with average percent change about -4.07 (95%UI: -5.62--2.51), and the elderly aged 70-year-old and above with average percent change about 1.89 (95%UI: 1.42-2.37) respectively. Four types of trajectories could be categorized for different trends of age standardized mortality rate of falls in all provinces. The first group had the lowest fall mortality with a downward trend. The fall mortality was close in the second and third group but with different change tendency, a decreasing propensity in the former and an increasing one in the latter. The fourth group had the highest fall morality with obvious fluctuation. Conclusion There was no significant change in the age standardized mortality rate of falls in China from 1990 to 2015. However, the trend of age standardized mortality rate of falls varied in different age and provinces during the same period of time.

Objective: To understand the epidemiologic characteristics of injury among children aged 0-5 years in 2018, and to provide evidence for prevention and control measures of injury in children. Methods: Data of injury in children aged 0-5 years in China in 2018 were collected from National Injury Surveillance System (NISS) for the descriptive epidemiologic analysis. Results: A total of 74 355 injury cases were reported in children aged 0-5 years in 2018, with the gender ratio of 0.66, in which 98.13% were unintentional injuries. The top three causes of injury were falls (56.76%), blunt injuries (9.80%) and animal related injuries (7.81%). Injuries mainly occurred during 17:00—20:59 (32.09%) and 10:00—11:59 (13.95%). The top three places where injuries might occur were home (65.70%), public residence (13.06%), highway/street (10.94%). Recreational activities (64.21%), basic life activities (16.93%) and walking (5.66%) were the main activities when injuries occurred. Of all injury cases, most were mild, while 13.73% of cases were moderate or severe. Head, upper limb and lower limb were main injuries sites, which accounted for 49.44%, 28.59% and 11.70% of all cases respectively. Conclusion Injury is an important cause for children aged 0-5 years to go to the outpatient/emergency department for treatment, indicating that the prevention of injury in such age group should be strengthened. It is recommended to further improve the data collection on child injury in order to provide more evidence for child injury intervention.
