OBJECTIVE: To analyze the causes of injury death and study the potential life lost of surveillance residents in Hubei province, and to provide basis for prevention & control and data for policy-making.

METHODS: The mortality and potential years of life lost(PYLL) were calculated by collecting injury death data from the death registry system in Hubei province from 2006 to 2007.

RESULTS: The cases which died of injury were account for 5994, the gross mortality was 61.45 per 100000 from 2006 to 2007(standardized mortality was 58.26 per 100000), of which 3725 were male and 2269 were female, the gross mortality of male was 74.53 per 100000 and female's was 47.71 per 100000(standardized mortalities were 68.78 per 100000 and 46.14 per 100000). The mortality of male was higher than that of female. The first five causes of injury death were as follows: suicide, traffic accident, falls, drowning and crush injury. The top five causes of PYLL were as follows: traffic accident, suicide, drowning, falls and crush injured.
