Eight hospitals reported 781 non-iatrogenic accidents occurring to patients and visitors under 16 years of age during an 18 month period up to October 1989. Accidents more often involved boys and children aged 3 to 5 years old. Falls from a height, slips, and striking accidents were common by day and falls by night. A total of 41% of accidents to inpatients occurred when parents were present. Only three accidents were serious. Altogether 27% involved beds and cots, and only one consequent injury was more than minor. Data collected routinely in case of medicolegal action can be presented in a form that may facilitate preventative work. Potentially remediable causes for concern include falls from beds and cots and the use of makeshift equipment.
八家医院报告称,在截至1989年10月的18个月期间,16岁以下患者和访客发生了781起非医源性事故。事故更多发生在男孩以及3至5岁的儿童身上。白天高处坠落、滑倒和碰撞事故较为常见,夜间则以跌倒为主。住院患者发生的事故中,41%是在家长在场时发生的。只有三起事故较为严重。总共有27%的事故涉及病床和婴儿床,只有一起后续伤害较为严重。在发生法医学诉讼时常规收集的数据,可以以有助于预防工作的形式呈现。值得关注的潜在可补救原因包括从病床和婴儿床坠落以及使用临时设备的情况。
