Methods： The clinical data of 196 cases were collected from 2 hospitals of Chongqing city, including age, sex, occupation, injury site, dwelling and injury severity score. Results： In this series, 31.63% victims＇ age was over 60 years, and 54.08% were farmers. Multiple trauma accounted for 35.71%, and lower limb injury for 33.67%. There was no significant difference on injury severity score between city dwellers and rural ones （P〉0.05）. Conclusion： The earthquake injury is influenced by many factors. More attention should be paid to the treatment at first 5 days after injury and high risk population.展开更多
