ABSTRACT
Objective@#To summarize the progress of injury cohort studies over the world.@*Methods@#Relevant information of injury cohort publications published before December 2017 were retrieved from PubMed, WanFang and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases, consisting of the starting year, category of injury, study population, sample size, countries, follow-up duration, main exposure variables, outcome variables and method of data collection, and statistical methods.@*Results@#A total of 295 studies were included in the analysis. The overall number of injury cohort studies increased with a peak in 2000, and then decreased. The top three countries that most frequently published cohort studies were the United States (52), Sweden (46) and the United Kingdom (37). A total of 29 published injury cohorts were identified in China, about 3, 23 and 3 cohort studies from the mainland of China, Taiwan Province, and Hong Kong Specific Administrative Region, respectively. The majority of cohort studies involved a single injury cause (93.6%); the most common injury causes included suicide/self-harm (46.1%), falls (17.3%) and road traffic injuries (14.6%). For the published cohort studies, exposure variables and outcome events varied with injury causes, primarily being collected through data registration system, national survey data, questionnaire survey, telephone interviews, and other means.@*Conclusion@#A number of injury cohorts have been established worldwide, and few in the mainland of China. The existed cohort studies could offer important references for the design of large-scale, multi-center and high-quality injury cohort in China in the future.
