OBJECTIVES
To describe the epidemiology of serious airgun injury in New Zealand.
METHODS
Cases were selected from the New Zealand Health Information Service's hospital inpatient morbidity data files for the period 1979 to 1992 inclusive.
RESULTS
There were 718 airgun related injuries resulting in 1.56 injuries/100,000 population/year. Males and 10-14 year olds had higher than average rates of injury. The majority of the incidents were unintentional. There has been a marked decline in injury rates since 1989.
CONCLUSIONS
Airgun injuries, while not as serious as powder firearm injuries, account for a significant personal and societal burden. The results suggest that strategies aimed at controlling these injuries, especially those pertaining to children, are in need of review.
目的
描述新西兰严重气枪伤的流行病学情况。
方法
病例选自新西兰健康信息服务中心1979年至1992年（含）期间的医院住院患者发病数据文件。
结果
共有718起与气枪相关的伤害事件，每年每10万人口中有1.56起伤害事件。男性以及10至14岁的人群受伤率高于平均水平。大多数事件是意外造成的。自1989年以来，受伤率显著下降。
结论
气枪伤虽然不像火药枪伤那么严重，但给个人和社会带来了沉重负担。结果表明，旨在控制这些伤害的策略，尤其是与儿童相关的策略，需要重新审视。
