摘要

Abstract

Background:

Civilian explosion blast injury is more frequent in developing countries

including China. However

the incidence

casualties

and characteristics of such incidents in China are unknown.

Methods:

This is a retrospective analysis of the State Administration of Work Safety database. Incidents during a period from January 1

2000 to April 30

2017 were included in the analysis. The explosions were classified based on the number of deaths into extraordinarily major

major

serious and ordinary type. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the incidence and characteristics of the explosions. Correlation analysis was performed to examine the potential correlations among various variables.

Results:

Data base search identified a total of 2098 explosions from 2000 to 2017

with 29

579 casualties: 15

788 deaths (53.4%)

637 injured (42.7%) and 1154 missing (3.9%). Majority of the explosions were serious type (65.4%). The number of deaths (39.5%) was also highest with the serious type (

=0.006). The highest incidence was observed in the fourth quarter of the year (October to December)

and at 9:00–11:00 am and 4:00–6:00 pm of the day. The explosions were most frequent in coal-producing provinces (Guizhou and Shanxi Province). Coal mine gas explosions resulted majority of the deaths (9620

60.9%). The number of explosion accidents closely correlated with economic output (regional economy and national GDP growth rate) (

=–0.372

=0.040;

=0.629

=0.028).

Conclusions:

The incidence and civilian casualties due to explosions remain unacceptable in developing China. Measures that mitigate the risk factors are of urgently required.
