Overall Mortality

Traumatic Aortic Rupture (TAR) is a major cause of fatality in motor vehicle crashes. In terms of numbers, only 9% of the subjects who experience such trauma (7500–8000 victims in US and Canada) survive from the scene of the accident and the overall mortality rate is 98% [1].

Introduction To understand the distribution pattern and time trend of unintentional injury mortalities is crucial in order to develop prevention strategies. Methods We analyzed vital statistics data from Canada (excluding Quebec) for 2001 to 2007. Mortality rates were age- and sex-standardized to the 2001 Canadian population. An autoregressive model was used for time-series analysis. Results Overall mortality rate steadily decreased but unintentional injury mortality rate was stable over the study period. The three territories had the highest mortality rates. Unintentional injury deaths were less common in children than in youths/adults. After 60, the mortality rate increased steadily with age. Males were more likely to die of unintentional injury, and the male/female ratio peaked in the 25- to 29-year age group. Motor vehicle crashes, falls and poisoning were the three major causes. There was a substantial year after year increase in mortality due to falls. Deaths due to motor vehicle crashes and drowning were more common in summer months, and deaths caused by falls and burns were more common in winter months. Conclusion The share of unintentional injury among all-cause mortality and the mortality from falls increased in Canada during the period 2001 to 2007.
