abstract="Some small-scale studies have suggested that community-based injury is a new burden of disease in Vietnam in a disease model transformation. This study aims to determine the rate of joint injuries, specific rates by type, age, Vietnam and for each ecological region. This study also aims to assess the burden of injury in Vietnam. The study used cross-sectional design description, based on data from household interviews in the retrospective information on injury and illness in the 12 months prior to the survey. Sample is selected by multi-stage cluster sample method, representing the country, covering eight ecological regions of Vietnam with a total of 27,000 households (approximately 128,000 people). The data were analyzed by statistical methods and demographics. The preliminary results showed that injury is a significant health problem in Vietnam today with a non-fatal injury rate is particularly high: 5,440 per 100,000 population (95% CI 5071-5826), which in males than in females (7064 vs. 3945). The mortality rate due to injury in Viet Nam was 88.3 per 100,000 (95% CI: 69-108), in males 123, females 56. Traffic injuries (CTGT) topped with rate khongtu mortality is 1,409 per 100,000 in men and 1.8 times higher in women. Falls are the second cause with the 1322 rate, then the animal bites (1105), color (950). Injuries account for about 33% of all deaths. Rate of death due to injury CTGT (26.7 / 100,000), drowning (22.6), falls (9.5), and poisoning (7.3). Mekong Delta region has high rate of non-fatal injuries in the country. Injury is estimated to account for about 61% of the total number of years of potential life lost before age 65. If you can get rid of childhood trauma, we can reduce the mortality rate among children under 5 years of age by 40% from 48.6 to 29.7 per 1000 (compared to just 15% if eliminate the infectious cause). The results although preliminary, show that injury is emerging as a burden of disease and death in Vietnam. At all ages, trauma is an important cause of illness, disability and death. Injury prevention policies, particularly the intervention program will be conducted in the near future, integrated into national policies.<p /> <p>Language: vi</p>",
