To describe the pattern of non-intentional farm-related fatalities in Australia for 2003-2006 and examine trends.
Data from the National Coroners Information System were analysed to define all non-intentional farm injury fatalities for the period.
The incidence of farm fatalities has declined by 44% over the past 20 years from an average of 146 deaths per year to 82 deaths per year. For adults there are high numbers of fatalities related to tractors, quad bikes and farm utilities. Children aged under 15 years account for 17% of fatalities, with dams or other water bodies and quad bikes remaining the most common causes of non-intentional farm fatalities. Almost half of all on-farm non-intentional fatalities are non-work-related.
Future interventions targeting these priority areas are required to reduce the incidence of non-intentional farm-related fatalities within Australia.
描述2003 - 2006年澳大利亚与农场相关的非故意伤害致死模式，并研究其趋势。
分析国家死因裁判信息系统的数据，以确定该时期内所有与农场相关的非故意伤害致死案例。
在过去20年里，农场死亡事故发生率下降了44%，从平均每年146例死亡降至每年82例死亡。对于成年人来说，与拖拉机、四轮摩托车和农用多功能车相关的死亡人数较多。15岁以下儿童占死亡人数的17%，水坝或其他水体以及四轮摩托车仍是农场非故意伤害致死的最常见原因。几乎一半的农场非故意伤害致死与工作无关。
需要针对这些优先领域采取未来干预措施，以降低澳大利亚与农场相关的非故意伤害致死发生率。
