The average mortality rate of drowning among different causes of injury and death was 5.98/100 000 followed by the average mortality rate of road traffic accidents of 3.38/100 000. <br><br>CONCLUSION There is a downward trend of deaths due to injures for children aged 0-14 years in Hunan during 2014-2021 with an obvious gender difference.
