N2  - OBJECTIVE: To analyze the characteristics on injuries, using data from the Jiangsu sentinel hospitals, from 2006 to 2013, to develop a injury prevention strategy. <br><br>METHODS: Data was collected from the 'National Injury Monitoring Report Card' of six sentinel hospitals from two surveillance points from 2006 to 2013. <br><br>RESULTS: Information from 448 778 cases was analyzed. The numbers of male cases outnumbered the females, with sex ratio as 1.72:1. The top five causes of injuries were as follows: falls (27.21%), traffic-related (26.23%), blunt (17.50%), knife/sharp instrument (13.87%) and animal injury (6.59%). Injuries mainly occurred in June, July and August, at 8 to 10 O'clock in the morning. The major places where injuries occurred were road/street (31.58%), home (23.47%), industries and construction sites (21.38%). Recreation activities (36.12%), driving vehicle (25.26%), and at work (24.78%) were the major activities when injuries took place. Most injury cases were unintentional (92.65%) and deliberately (violence/attack) (6.36%). <br><br>CONCLUSION: All the injuries showed an yearly increase, from 2006 to 2013, with main causes as falls and traffic-related ones. Injuries among teenagers and the elderly should be paid special attention to, with targeted interventions taken.<p />  <p>Language: zh</p>
