[Epidemiological study on the trend of accidental deaths among children under five in Guangzhou, 2001 - 2010].

Abstract

The mortality of accidental deaths among children under 5 years of age in Guangzhou had been decreasing during 2001 - 2010, mainly owing to the practice of intervention programs on drowning and suffocation, suggesting the necessity of integrating the health education programs on accidental injury with the healthcare management system in children in the country, focusing on the suburban and county levels where economy was relatively undeveloped or with more floating population.
