INJURIES AMONG CHILDREN AND SOME PECULIARITIES OF ITS SPREAD. (LITERATURE REVIEW)

Injuries among children are still one of the most pressing and unresolved medical and social problems in medicine and health care, not only in our country, but all over the world. According to the World Health Organization, between 2000 and 2012, the number of injuries worldwide increased to 87-93 per thousand people, and more than 5 million deaths a year (10% of all deaths) are due to injuries. In Europe, more than 120 million people are injured each year, and more than 220,000 die prematurely. If in 2013 in Russia 1,662,331 people were hospitalized with various injuries, 76.1% of them are able-bodied. 73% of all hospitalizations were due to car accidents. 43.1% of them were committed with the participation of infantry.
