abstract="OBJECTIVE To explore the epidemic characteristics of injury-related deaths in children and adolescents aged 1-24 years old in China from 2010 to 2020, so as to provide a basis for the formulation of policies and measures related to the control of injuries and deaths among children and adolescents. <br><br>METHODS The data were sourced from the China Death Cause Monitoring Dataset from 2010 to 2020. Annual percentage change ( APC) and average annual percentage change ( AAPC) of injury deaths in China in this age group during the period 2010 to 2020 were analyzed by Join point regression. <br><br>RESULTS From 2010 to 2020, the standardized death rate of injury showed a decreasing trend (AAPC =-6.90%, t = 4.58, P<0.01). The standardized death rates of male and rural injuries showed an overall downward trend, with AAPC rates of -8.37% and -7.79%( t = 11.87, 10.34, P<0.01). An increasing trend was observed in the 20-24 year-old age group during 2010-2018 (APC = 18.11%, t = 6.50, P<0.01). The death rate from injuries was higher in males than females, and higher in rural areas compared with urban areas (χ2 = 16 483.64, 3 268.65, P<0.01). A downward trend was observed in accidental falls and suicide, the overall standardized mortality rate of traffic accidents, accidental poisoning, fire, drowning, homicide and other injuries (AAPC = -10.22%, -6.21%, -7.50%, -7.94%, -9.01%, -10.97%, t =16.23, 7.29, 2.53, 9.32, 7.88, 4.58, P<0.05). <br><br>CONCLUSION From 2010 to 2020, the overall injury standardized mortality rate in the 1-24 year-old age group shows a decreasing trend, but it remains at a relatively high level. Prevention efforts should be continuously strengthened, especially for urban areas, and should focus on women and those aged 20-24 years old, as well as accidental falls and suicide prevention. <p /> <p>Language: zh</p>",
