Trends in burden of falls among children aged 0-14 years in China from 1990-2021 and prediction to 2030.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although falls are the major cause of non-fatal injuries and preventable deaths among Chinese children, comprehensive assessments of the temporal trends in the burden of falls among children aged 0-14 years in China remain scarce. To address this gap, we quantified national and temporal trends in burden of falls among children aged 0-14 years from 1990 to 2021 and projected future trends through 2030.

Methods

The current study used data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD2021), we extracted crude incidence, mortality, years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) attributable to falls along with their corresponding absolute counts for Chinese children aged 0-14 years during 1990-2021.
