abstract="OBJECTIVE: To analyze the injury characteristics, using data from the National Injury Surveillance System (NISS), 2006 to 2008, to develop a injury prevention strategy. METHODS: 129 hospitals from 43 surveillance points in NISS were selected according to the DSP sample framework, also considering the capacity of local CDC. RESULTS: Relative information on 1 318 739 cases were analyzed. The number of male cases were more than the females. The top three causes of injuries were as follows: falls (28.02%, 29.36%, 30.12%), traffic-related (23.07%, 21.61%, 21.44%) and blunt injuries (21.46%, 21.17%, 20.59%). The major places where injuries occurred were: road/street (29.80%, 27.73%, 28.37%) and at home (21.51%, 22.80%, 24.02%). Recreation activities (35.63%, 41.93%, 42.13%) and at work (24.43%, 22.60%, 21.44%) were the two major activities when injuries took place. Most injury cases were unintentional (83.81%, 86.32%, 86.71%) and mild (70.42%, 74.79%, 73.90%). Rush hours that caused injuries to happen were between 7 to 10 AM. CONCLUSION: Male injury cases were more than females. Falls, road traffic-related and blunt injuries were the major causes, with most of them were unintentional and minor.<p /> <p>Language: zh</p>",
