A comprehensive pediatric injury burden assessment is an essential foundation for formulating injury prevention strategies and improving emergency care for injured children. Although the hospital-based passive surveillance of national injury surveillance system of medical and health institutions has been well-established in China, the monitoring points of hospitals were not stratified according to children's hospital. Aim of the project is to collect epidemiological and clinical data to describe causes, clinical features and outcomes of pediatric injuries at a Children's Hospital in Shanghai, China. The project intends to establish a method for collecting and analyzing high quality data of child injury using data mining based on the hospital information system.

Injuries are a leading cause of death for infants and children around the world. According to the Haddon Injury Control Model, 90 percent of injuries are both predictable and preventable. Injuries are preventable, not "accidents". All unintentionally and intentionally injured children first visit to the emergency department are recruited in the study. Children's Hospital of Fudan University with a Regional Pediatric Trauma Centre is also the first Pediatric Injury Prevention Center established in China. We conduct a prospective cohort study to investigate the epidemiology, clinical course, and outcomes of the injured child first visit to the emergency department, which expected to serve as evidence of injury prevention and promising practices. In the study, we collect and analyze high quality data of child injury based on data mining.
