Abstract:
Objective:To provide theoretical basis for exploring risk factors for injuries and formulating preventive measures by studying the epidemiological characteristics of injuries in specific populations based on the pre-hospital emergency data.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on injury cases of children and adolescents treated by the Zhengzhou Emergency Medical Rescue Center（120）over the past five years.Analyzed factors related to injuries such as age，gender，injury type，location of call，and time of call.Results:Over the past five years，there were a total of 22 160 pre-hospital emergency injury patients in Zhengzhou，including 22 059 cases whose information were complete.The median age was 13（2，17）years-old，with the highest proportion being 13-18 years-old，accounting for 11 515 cases（52.5%）.The top three types of injuries were trauma 10 094（45.8%），followed by traffic accidents 9 465（42.9%），and poisoning 2 080（9.4%）.Trauma mainly occurred from 17:00 to 22:00，traffic injuries mainly occurred from 17:01 to 20:00，12:01 to 15:00，and 07:01 to 08:00，while poisoning mainly occurred from 20:01 to 03:00 the next day.Trauma was most common in May，September，and November，and least common in January to March；traffic injuries were most common from June to August，and least common from December to February；there was no significant difference in the distribution of poisoning by month.The main call locations for injuries were residential areas，roads，recreational places，and schools.Conclusion:Pre-hospital emergency data of injury patients can supplement research data on injuries.The injury among children and adolescents requires attention from society and families.
