Objective To analyze the causes of injury deaths among residents in Zhong County,Chongqing from 2013 to 2022,and to provide reference for injury prevention and control.Methods The injury death data of residents in Zhong County with the ICD-10 code V01-Y98 from 2013 to 2022 were analyzed.The crude mortality rate,the standardized mortality rate,and the cause of death order of injury deaths were calculated by Excel 2016.SPSS 26.0 was used to analyze injury death causes of different genders and ages with Chi-square test.Bilateral test level was α=0.01.Results From 2013 to 2022,there were 67 177 deaths among residents in Zhong County,Chongqing,including 4 852 deaths from injuries,accounting for 7.22%of the total cause of death.The average annual standardized injury mortality rate was 56.47/105,with 74.04/105 in males and 38.19/105 in females.The average injury standardized mortality rate in males was higher than that in females(x2=136.253,P<0.001).The top 5 causes of injury deaths were accidental fall,traffic accident,suicide,accidental drowning and poisoning.Except for suicide,which ranked third in males and second in females,the other causes of death ranked the same in both men and women.The 0-14 years old group had the first cause of injury death due to accidental drowning,the 15-64 years old group had the first cause of injury death due to traffic accident,and the ≥65 years old group had the first cause of injury death due to accidental fall.The composition of the cause of injury deaths was different in different age groups(x2=919.669,P<0.001).Among the 788 suicides,insecticide suicide and hanging suicide accounted for 78.93%.Conclusions Accidental fall,traffic accident,suicide,accidental drowning and accidental poisoning are the main causes of injury deaths that endanger the health of residents in Zhong County,which should be the focus of injury prevention and control work.At the same time,corresponding prevention and control strategies should be formulated based on the characteristics of injury deaths in different genders and age groups.
