METHODS: Cases of non-motor road traffic injuries were descriptively analyzed based on their data at the sentinel hospitals of the Chinese National Injury Surveillance System (NISS) from 2006 to 2013.

RESULTS: The proportion of non-motor road traffic injuries among the total road traffic injuries of the year from 2006 to 2011 was relatively stable, and the proportion in 2013 was higher than 2012 (χ(2) = 508.138, P < 0.001). In the non-motor road traffic injuries cases in 2013, male cases were higher than females (χ(2) = 41.018, P < 0.001), mostly found in 15 to 64 years old age groups. In urban areas, the proportion of non-motor road traffic injuries cases (52.11%) was higher than rural areas (47.89%) (χ(2) = 88.427, P < 0.001). Most injuries were found in lower limbs (29.08%) and head (24.82%). Injuries were mainly bruises (73.54%) and fractures (10.72%). The severities of injuries were mainly mitigated injury (80.49%), and most injuries ended with home return following treatment (82.34%).

CONCLUSION: The proportion of non-motor road traffic injuries among total road traffic injuries of the year as found from NISS remained stable from 2006 to 2011, with a slight rise in 2012-2013. Most of the non-motor road traffic injuries were suffered by young and middle aged men. Interventions should be made based on gender and age differences of non-motor road traffic injuries cases.
