The objective of this study is to describe the epidemiology of bicycle-related injuries among children and adolescents 18 years and younger on a national level. This is a retrospective analysis of data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission for patients 18 years and younger who were seen in emergency departments (EDs) between January 1, 1990, and December 31, 2005, for injuries received while operating a bicycle. During the 16-year study period, there were an estimated 6 228 700 individuals 18 years and younger treated in US EDs for bicycle-related injuries. Children with head injuries were more than 3 (relative risk, 3.63) times as likely to require hospitalization and were almost 6 (relative risk, 5.77) times more likely to have their injuries result in death. The large number of annual bicycle related-injuries is evidence that prevention of these injuries should remain an important area of bicycle safety research and practice.
本研究的目的是在国家层面描述18岁及以下儿童和青少年与自行车相关的损伤的流行病学情况。这是一项对美国消费品安全委员会国家电子损伤监测系统数据的回顾性分析，这些数据来自于1990年1月1日至2005年12月31日期间在急诊科就诊的18岁及以下因骑自行车受伤的患者。在16年的研究期间，估计有6228700名18岁及以下的个体因与自行车相关的损伤在美国急诊科接受治疗。头部受伤的儿童需要住院治疗的可能性是其他儿童的3倍多（相对风险为3.63），其受伤导致死亡的可能性几乎是其他儿童的6倍（相对风险为5.77）。每年大量与自行车相关的损伤表明，预防这些损伤应仍然是自行车安全研究和实践的一个重要领域。
