“…These results also suggest the burden of non-fatal injury is substantially underestimated by the hospital-based National Injury Surveillance System in China 18 and reinforce the need for China and other nations to use population-based survey data in conjunction with hospital surveillance systems to correctly estimate the burden of injury morbidity. In China, a good option to collect ancillary data would be through the National Household Health Interview Survey, which is conducted every five years 19 .…”

Background: Injury morbidity data are collected through hospital-based surveillance in many countries. We assessed the extent of non-fatal injures treated outside a hospital. Methods: Data from the first provincial health household interview survey of Hunan, China, conducted in 2013, were used. Injury events were identified and included as medically significant when any of the following circumstances occurred in the prior 14 days: (i) receiving medical treatment from a doctor at a hospital following an injury; (ii) receiving medical treatment by self or others outside a hospital following an injury (e.g. taking medications, or receiving massage or hot compress); and/or (iii) being off work or school, or in bed for more than 1 day, following an injury. The 2-week prevalence of non-fatal injuries and 95% confidence intervals were calculated. We calculated the proportion of injury events treated outside a hospital and the reasons for not visiting a hospital for injury events occurring during the previous 2 weeks. Results: We captured 56 injury events during the previous 2 weeks. The weighted injury prevalence was 4.9 per 1000 persons during the last 2 weeks (95% confidence interval: 2.9–6.9 per 1000 persons). Of the 56 events, 14 (weighted proportion 41.2%) were treated outside a hospital. Primary explanations for skipping hospital visits included perceiving injuries were too minor and economic limitations to travel to hospitals or seek treatment. Conclusion: Results imply the burden of non-fatal injury may be underestimated by hospital-based surveillance systems such as that used in China.

“…A locally customised, electronic pilot trauma registry was implemented at a tertiary care hospital of Karachi, Pakistan, in 2010 23. In 2006, the National Injury Surveillance System was launched in China, based on 126 hospitals from 43 sample points (23 rural, 20 urban) 24. It has become an important data source for injuries in China and enabled analyses of level, trend and pattern of injury morbidity and mortality 25…”

Road traffic injuries (RTI) impose a substantial health burden among children. Globally, 186 300 children (under 18 years) die from RTI each year. It is the fourth leading cause of death among children aged 5-9 years, third among children aged 10-14 years and first among children aged 15-17 years. At the regional level, sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 35.2% of global child deaths caused by RTI; that number is still increasing. Male children are about two times more likely to die due to RTI than female children. RTI are also related to socioeconomic inequalities; low-income and middle-income countries (LMIC) account for 95% of global child RTI deaths, and children from poor households are more likely to fall victims to RTI. Intervention strategies promoted in the five pillars of the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020 are available to prevent mortality and morbidity caused by RTI, though validation and implementation of such interventions are urgently needed in the LMIC. Through concerted efforts to cultivate strong political will, build action and advocacy capacity, increase global funding and enhance multisectoral collaboration promoted by the Sustainable Development Goals, the world is challenged to do better in saving children from RTI.

“…Data on violence-related medical cases were collected from the 2015 NISS,19 which includes data from clinics and emergency departments of 126 hospitals in 43 counties (cities and districts), where doctors routinely filled out national injury surveillance report cards and submitted them to the National Center for Chronic and Non-communicable Disease Control and Prevention, China CDC. Four categories were used in the data set used by the NISS: (1) unintentional, (2) self-harm/suicide, (3) intentional and (4) unclear.…”

ObjectivesTo describe the prevalence status of violence and its prevention in China, and to provide reference for the development of strategies regarding violence prevention.MethodsViolence mortality data between 2006 and 2015 were obtained from the national disease/death surveillance data set in 2006–2015. Data on violence-related medical cases were collected from the 2015 National Injury Surveillance System. The laws and policies about violence prevention and violence prevention programmes in China were described.ResultsViolence mortality declined by 57.02% during 2006–2015 from 1.21/100 000 to 0.52/100 000. Violent death rate in males peaked in the age group 25–29 years (1.05/100 000) and it was low in the age group <15 years. Female violence mortality rate peaked during infancy (0.54/100 000), aged 25–29 (0.53/100 000) and age above 85 (0.98/100 000). The laws and policies about violence prevention were more perfect, while most prevention programmes were limited in scale and duration.ConclusionsThe mortality of violence declined in China during 2006–2015. It is necessary to conduct gender-specific prevention strategies and improve the data collection and prevention service.
