Animal bites continue to pose major public health challenges, and the clinical sequelae of bite injuries can extend far beyond simple wound management. Identification of people bitten by animals remains incomplete, and inconsistencies in data collection preclude meaningful conclusions about bite circumstances and predisposition of specific breeds of dogs to bite or inflict severe bites.
动物咬伤持续构成重大的公共卫生挑战，咬伤损伤的临床后遗症可能远远超出简单的伤口处理。对被动物咬伤者的识别仍不完整，数据收集方面的不一致妨碍了就咬伤情况以及特定犬种咬人或造成严重咬伤的倾向得出有意义的结论。
