Objective To understand the main causes of death among children and adolescents aged 5-19 in Tangguregion, Binhai New Area, Tianjin City, so as to provide a reliable basis for the government and other relevant departments to develop interventions and policies. Methods The uniform coding was performed according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9 and ICD-10). The health measures, such as crude mortality, standardized mortality, cause of death ratio, potential years of life lost (PYLL), potential life lost rate (PYLLR), standardized years of life (SPYLL), and standardized life lost rate (SPYLLR) were used, and the death reports were collected and statistically analyzed by using Excel 2017 and SPSS 19.0 software in Tanggu region for 20 years (1998-2017). Results The mortality rate of children and adolescents in Tanggu area was 39.02/105, the standardized mortality rate was 5.63/105, the male mortality rate was 27.6/105, and the female mortality rate was 18.4/105. The mortality rate of the male was higher than that of the female (χ2=2.87, P<0.05). Injury and poisoning (17.33/105) and tumors (9.13/105) were the leading causes of death among the children and adolescents, accounting for 67.8% of all deaths. The PYLL for children and adolescents was 15 175.5 person-years, SPYLL was 8 497.37 person-years, PYLL was 11.8‰, and SPYLL was 29.5‰. Conclusion Injury and poisoning, and tumors are the main causes of death among children and adolescents aged 5-19 years in Tanggu region, Binhai New Area, Tianjin City. Therefore, the effective interventions should be taken to reduce death, to reduce the burden of disease and the loss of lifetime, and to promote the physical and mental health of children and adolescents.
