Comparison of Chinese and American Product Injury Features

Abstract:

Based on the product injury data provided by the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) in the US and the National Injury Surveillance System (NISS) in China, different features of Chinese and American product injuries have been analyzed. American product injuries are mainly focused on children, teenagers and senior citizens, while Chinese product injuries are mainly focused on working-age population. In the US, the percentage of men injured by products is close to that of women. But in China, the percentage of men injured by products is almost twice that of women, showing a distinct gender difference. In the US, the percentage of people injured by product treated and recovered is higher than in China, while the percentage of the hospitalized and dead is lower than in China.
