N2  - INTRODUCTION: Quantifying years of potential life lost (YPLL) highlights childhood causes of mortality and provides a simple method to identify important causes of premature death. METHODS: CDC analyzed data from the National Vital Statistics System multiple cause of death files for 2000-2009. RESULTS: An average of 890YPLL were lost each year due to unintentional injuries for every 100,000 persons aged 0-19 years. YPLL rates differed by sex, age group, race/ethnicity, injury mechanism and state. CONCLUSIONS: This report provides new information which can be used to prioritize interventions and identify subgroups of the population most at risk.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
