In the United States, more children aged 4-8 years die as occupants in motor-vehicle-related crashes than from any other form of unintentional injury (1). To reduce the number of deaths and injuries caused by motor-vehicle-related trauma, child passengers in this age group should be restrained properly in a vehicle's back seat (2). To characterize fatalities, restraint use, and seating position among occupants aged 4-8 years involved in fatal crashes, CDC analyzed 1994-1998 data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), which is maintained by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This report summarizes the results of that analysis, which indicate that during 1994-1998, little change occurred in the death rate, restraint use, and seating position among children aged 4-8 years killed in crashes.
在美国，4至8岁儿童在与机动车相关的撞车事故中作为乘车人死亡的人数，超过了因任何其他形式意外伤害而死亡的人数(1)。为减少与机动车相关创伤导致的伤亡人数，该年龄组的儿童乘客应在车辆后座正确使用约束装置(2)。为了描述涉及致命撞车事故的4至8岁乘车人的死亡情况、约束装置使用情况和座位位置，美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）分析了1994年至1998年来自死亡分析报告系统（FARS）的数据，该系统由美国国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）维护。本报告总结了该分析结果，结果表明，在1994年至1998年期间，撞车事故中死亡的4至8岁儿童的死亡率、约束装置使用情况和座位位置几乎没有变化。
