The purpose of this article was to estimate injuries in connection with swimming pool activities.
Through The Register of Accidents of The State Institute of Public Health, data of injuries in swimming pools were collected for the period 1998-1999. In that period of time the NOMESKO-classification was used for registration of injuries, a specific classification based on registration of injuries at five different Danish hospitals corresponding to 14% of the Danish population.
During the period of investigation the average number of injuries was 349 per year, corresponding to a rate of incidence of 49.9 per 100,000. There was a considerable dominance of the youngest age groups among the injured. The age group 0-14 years accounted for 60% of the injured. The dominant type of injury was simple fall. The type of lesions varied according to the age of the injured.
There was an insignificant increase from 1998 to 1999. Due to a presumed difference in iatrotropic threshold there was probably a bias of selection. The number of injuries corresponded to a total of 2500 injuries in Danish swimming pools per year, corresponding to 1 injury per 10,000 persons using Danish swimming pools. There were no comparable studies, neither Danish nor foreign. In Danish swimming pools no recommendations were available, only what we call advice on how to conduct oneself in the pool area. It would probably be possible to reduce the number of injuries in Danish swimming pools by using preventive steps, for instance non-skid mats, ban on running and elimination of sharp and hard objects in swimming pools.
本文旨在评估与游泳池活动相关的伤害情况。
通过国家公共卫生研究所事故登记处，收集了1998 - 1999年期间游泳池伤害数据。在该时间段内，使用NOMESKO分类法对伤害进行登记，这是一种基于丹麦五家不同医院（覆盖丹麦14%人口）的伤害登记情况制定的特定分类法。
在调查期间，每年平均伤害数量为349起，发病率为每10万人中有49.9起。受伤人群中最年幼的年龄组占主导地位。0 - 14岁年龄组占受伤者的60%。主要伤害类型为简单摔倒。损伤类型因受伤者年龄而异。
1998年至1999年期间有不显著的增长。由于假定的医疗阈值差异，可能存在选择偏差。伤害数量相当于丹麦游泳池每年总计2500起伤害，即每10000名使用丹麦游泳池的人中发生1起伤害。无论是丹麦还是国外，都没有可比研究。在丹麦游泳池，没有相关建议，只有我们所说的关于在泳池区域如何行为的提示。通过采取预防措施，例如使用防滑垫、禁止奔跑以及清除游泳池中的尖锐和硬物，可能有可能减少丹麦游泳池的伤害数量。
