Abstract：Objective To investigate the case distribution features of injury surveillance among elderly outpatients aged 60 years and above in community health service centers in Jinshan district of Shanghai city during 2011-2017, and to provide a basis for formulating injury prevention measures. Methods We descriptively analyzed all injury casesaged 60 years and above from outpatient departments of 11 community health service centers in Jinshan district of Shanghai city from 2011 to 2017. Resultss A total of 10,215 injury cases of the elderly aged 60 years and above were involved in this surveillance analysis. The gender ratio of male to female was 1.15∶1.There were statistically significant differences in the distribution of reported ages when the injury episode occurred during the 7-year surveillance period (χ2=68.867, P<0.001). Most of the injury cases in the elderly occurred at home (70.82%, 7,234/10,215). The main causes of injuries were fall (36.63%, 3,742/10,215) and knife/sharp injuries (33.90%, 3,463/10,215). Conclusions The main causes of injuries in the elderly in Jinshan district of Shanghai city during 2011-2017 were fall and knife/sharp injuries. The results suggest that it is necessary to develop and implement targeted preventive intervention measures in families and communities and reduce the incidence of injuries and serious complications in the elderly so as to promote their health.
