OBJECTIVE
To examine the potential of the New South Wales baby-walker regulation to reduce injury.
DESIGN
Injury surveillance data were used to reconstruct baby-walker injury incidents, which were examined in conjunction with the 2000 NSW baby-walker regulation, which requires a specified level of stability and a gripping mechanism to stop the walker at the edge of a step.
SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS
Injury surveillance data on injuries to 381 babies collected from hospital emergency departments in South Australia and Victoria, 1986-2000.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE
Injury events that would still have occurred with the regulation in place.
RESULTS
About half (46%; 95% CI, 32.5%-59.8%) of the serious baby-walker injuries (ie, requiring admission to hospital) are caused by the walker enabling babies to reach hazards other than steps and stairs.
CONCLUSION
The New South Wales regulation has the potential to eliminate only about half the baby-walker injuries. Banning baby walkers altogether is preferable.
目的
研究新南威尔士州婴儿学步车规定在减少伤害方面的潜力。
设计
利用伤害监测数据重建婴儿学步车伤害事件，并结合2000年新南威尔士州婴儿学步车规定进行审查，该规定要求具备特定水平的稳定性和抓握机制，以便在台阶边缘使学步车停下。
地点和参与者
1986 - 2000年从南澳大利亚州和维多利亚州的医院急诊科收集的381名婴儿受伤的伤害监测数据。
主要观察指标
在该规定实施的情况下仍会发生的伤害事件。
结果
约一半（46%；95%可信区间，32.5% - 59.8%）的严重婴儿学步车伤害（即需要住院治疗的伤害）是由学步车使婴儿接触到台阶和楼梯以外的危险物所致。
结论
新南威尔士州的规定仅有可能消除约一半的婴儿学步车伤害。完全禁止婴儿学步车更为可取。
