“…In line with our study, some researchers have demonstrated a higher mortality in the elderly. 16 17 In the UK, scalds accounted for 60% of the deaths of fire, heat and hot substances in the >75 year group. 18 By contrast to the findings from the previous study, fire or smoke inhalation caused by fire are the main causes of the increased mortality among the elderly during the COVID-19 period in our study.…”

ObjectiveWe aimed to ascertain the trends of injury mortality during the COVID-19 period in southern China.MethodsWe conducted a population-based retrospective analysis to compare the mortality changes of all-cause injury and transport injuries, poisoning, falls, fire/heat/hot substances, drowning, self-harm and interpersonal violence, which were further stratified by sex and age. Comparisons were made between the COVID-19 period (between January 2020 and June 2020) and control period (between January 2019 and June 2019) in Guangdong province. We used the negative binomial models to explore the associations of deaths during the COVID-19 period, according to the different sex and age strata.ResultsThe all-cause injury mortality in Guangdong province decreased significantly from 28.65 per 100 000 population during the control period to 23.24 per 100 000 population during COVID-19 pandemic period. Similar results were found in specific injury categories. Mortality of self-harm increased by 139.26% in the 10–14 year group during the COVID-19 period as compared with the control period. Although mortality changes in some groups were not statistically significant, some increases were noteworthy during the COVID-19 period (ie, self-harm, transport injury and falls) in the 70–79 year group. The corresponding increase in mortality rate was 16.83%, 3.32% and 4.92%, respectively.ConclusionThe mortality of all-cause injury, transport injury and drowning during the COVID-19 pandemic was consistently decreased. However, the increase in mortality associated with falls, fire/heat/hot substance injury and self-harm in specific age populations warrant the targeted control and prevention measures for the population at risk.

“…Annually, almost 300,000 people in Iran experience various types of burn injuries, of which 24,000 are hospitalized. However, most of these people have a poor socio-economic status [ 3 ].…”

“…Stunning advances in the treatment and care of severe burns have played a major role in reducing mortality [ 5 ]. Iran, as a developing country, has also benefited from these advances and a result, the burn-related age-standardized mortality rate in a 25-year period (from 1991 to 2016) has decreased from 5.97 to 1.74 [ 3 ]. In other words, the number of severe burn survivors has dramatically increased and health care systems are facing a large number of survivors who are in the rehabilitation phase.…”

Background Reintegrating to society is a significant challenge during burn survivors’ rehabilitation. Aim This study aims to describe what Iranian female survivors from unintentional severe burns experience as enablers and barriers of social reintegration (SR). Methods Fourteen adult female burn survivors whose burns were unintentional participated in this qualitative study. Data were gathered through semi-structured face-to-face or telephone interviews and analyzed using inductive content analysis. Results Thirteen subcategories and six categories were emerged. Categories and subcategories of enablers content area were as follows: positive impact of society on SR (normal treatment of society, instrumental support), positive impact of family on SR (magnifying personal abilities assets, empathy and emotional support), and positive impact of personal characteristics on SR (coping with others stares, right to have a normal social life). Categories and subcategories of Barriers content area were as follows: negative impact of society on SR (being questioned in public, incorrect judgment about intent of burns, burns as a contagious disease), negative impact of family on SR (embarrassment of appearing in public with the survivor, family mistrust), and negative impact of intra-personal factors on SR (exaggeration of the post-burn changes, being over-sensitive to the others looks). From the deep interpretation of the data two overarching themes were emerged: “acceptance of the new normal by the society and the individual” and “being encompassed by misconceptions and mistreatments”. Conclusions Society, family and the individual characteristics have a dual role to play in the success of social reintegration in Iranian female unintentional burn survivors.

“…Injury mortality has been widely studied in different countries (Mack et al 2017 ; Moniruzzaman 2018 ), and deaths from intentional and unintentional injuries are also evident in European countries (Stone et al 2006 ; Petridou et al 2007 ). Evidence shows an increasing trend in mortality due to falls, poisoning, suffocation and intentional injuries (Paulozzi et al 2006 ; Hong et al 2011 ; Pham et al 2018 ), and a decreasing trend in mortality due to drowning, burning and transport-related injuries (Hong et al 2011 ; Melchor et al 2015 ; Sadeghian et al 2019 ; Nguyen et al 2020 ).…”

Objectives Researches consider the young generation (adolescents) to be the population group whose mortality from injury has the lowest effect on economic growth. The objective was to evaluate the relations between economic indicators and preventable injury mortality in Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs), with a primary focus on adolescents. Methods The analyses included health indicators of preventable injury mortality and economic indicators that represent human development and economic growth in the CEECs from 1990 to 2016. The analytical process involved a population group divided by age (0–14 years: children, 15–24 years: adolescents, 25–74 years: adults) and gender. Descriptive analysis, cluster analysis and primarily panel regression analysis were used. Results Significant effects of economic indicators on drowning were found in all analysed relations. In the group of adolescents, significant effects of fatal falls were found. Overall, it can be concluded that the effects of fatal injuries are not homogenous between age and gender groups. Conclusions The effects of years and individual countries should be taken into account in the cross-sectional analyses. In terms of economic growth, public policies should focus on drowning in children, on falls in adolescents and on transport accidents, fire injuries and poisoning in adults.
