Our study described demographics and trend analysis in unintentional struck by/struck against fatalities in the United States from 1999 to 2006, and identifies the changes in deaths for specific population subgroups. Mortality data came from the CDC's Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System. Trends during 1999-2006 were analyzed by gender, age group and race. Annual percentage change in deaths/rates and log-linear regression was used for time-trend analysis from 1999 to 2006, and examines its significance. During 1999-2006, there were 7,049 deaths; 6,236 (88.5%; 0.56 per 100,000) males, 6,180 (87.7%; 0.32 per 100,000) whites, and 1,925 (27.3%) aged 45-59 years. Overall deaths declined by 4.4% during 1999 to 2006 (P = 0.047 for time-related trend). The proportion of deaths was almost similar among males and females (1.1% vs. 0.3%; P = 0.58), and whites and blacks (0.8% vs. 0.7%; P = 0.44). Almost 21% of all deaths occur in only three states of the US i.e., Texas (n = 592; 0.35 per 100,000), California (n = 513; 0.18) and Florida (n = 375; 0.28). Sub-group analysis showed, injury mortality decreased 5% in males and 1% in females, this change was not statistically significant overtime in both sexes. Prevention efforts for struck by/struck against fatalities should be strengthened and surveillance for these deaths should continue to follow future trends.
我们的研究描述了 1999 年至 2006 年美国非故意被击中/击中致死者的人口统计学和趋势分析，并确定了特定人群亚组死亡人数的变化。死亡率数据来自疾病预防控制中心的基于网络的伤害统计查询和报告系统。1999 年至 2006 年期间，按性别、年龄组和种族分析趋势。1999 年至 2006 年的死亡人数/率的年百分比变化和对数线性回归用于时间趋势分析，并检查其显著性。1999 年至 2006 年期间，共有 7049 人死亡；6236 人（88.5%；每 10 万人中有 0.56 人）为男性，6180 人（87.7%；每 10 万人中有 0.32 人）为白人，1925 人（27.3%）年龄在 45-59 岁之间。1999 年至 2006 年期间，总体死亡人数下降了 4.4%（时间相关趋势 P=0.047）。男性和女性之间的死亡比例几乎相似（1.1%比 0.3%；P=0.58），白人和黑人之间的死亡比例也几乎相似（0.8%比 0.7%；P=0.44）。全美只有三个州的死亡人数约占总数的 21%，即德克萨斯州（n=592；每 10 万人中有 0.35 人）、加利福尼亚州（n=513；每 10 万人中有 0.18 人）和佛罗里达州（n=375；每 10 万人中有 0.28 人）。亚组分析显示，男性的伤害死亡率下降了 5%，女性下降了 1%，但在这两个性别中，这种变化在整个时间段内都没有统计学意义。应加强对被击中/击中致死者的预防工作，并继续对这些死亡进行监测，以跟踪未来的趋势。
