Abstract

The study examined the extent, demographics and risks for child pedestrian, burns and drowning mortality in Johannesburg. Information on the demographics, scene and temporal circumstances for childhood injury deaths from 2000 to 2010 was gleaned from the National Injury Mortality Surveillance System. Descriptive statistical methods were used. The study recorded 756 pedestrian (8.7/100,000), 439 drowning (5.1/100,000), and 399 burn injury deaths (4.6/100,000) among children aged 0-14 years. Male children were the main victims, with male-to-female ratios of 2.3 for drowning, 1.7 for pedestrian and 1.2 for burn mortality. The pattern of child mortality differed across age groups with older children recording higher rates for pedestrian deaths and younger children higher rates for the non-traffic deaths. Pedestrian and burn mortality especially affected black children, while drowning affected both black and white children. The time, day and month of greatest injury mortality varied by injury cause, with e.g. pedestrian mortality common in afternoons and evenings, weekends, and dispersed across the year although increasing towards year end. The study highlighted the salience of differentiating risks for childhood injuries by discrete external cause for purposes of informing prevention responses.

约翰内斯堡儿童行人、溺水和烧伤死亡率。
该研究调查了约翰内斯堡儿童步行、烧伤和溺水死亡的程度、人口结构和风险。从国家伤害死亡率监测系统收集了2000年至2010年儿童伤害死亡的人口统计、现场和时间情况信息。采用描述性统计方法。该研究记录了0-14岁儿童中756名行人(8.7/10万),439名溺水(5.1/10万)和399名烧伤死亡(4.6/10万)。男孩是主要的受害者,溺水死亡率的男女比例为2.3,行人死亡率为1.7,烧伤死亡率为1.2。不同年龄组的儿童死亡率不同,年龄较大的儿童行人死亡率较高,年龄较小的儿童非交通死亡率较高。行人和烧伤死亡率尤其影响黑人儿童,而溺水对黑人和白人儿童都有影响。伤害死亡率最高的时间、日期和月份因伤害原因而异,例如,行人死亡率常见于下午、晚上和周末,并且在全年中分散,但在年底时增加。该研究强调了通过离散外因区分儿童伤害风险的重要性,以便为预防措施提供信息。
