This article reports the results of 100% household injury surveillance project conducted over a 1-year period in nine contiguous villages with a total population of 22,883 persons in north India. Fourteen trained field workers did the health and injury survey by visiting 16-20 households every day. In this article, we document the epidemiology of injuries among children in rural households. A person was considered injured if the injury prevented the victim from continuing a normal daily routine as understood by the family and the victim. A total of 2029 injury cases were recorded. Children in the age group 0-14 years accounted for 611 (30%) of all injury cases of which 42% were injured at home (28% for >14 years), 35% on roads (30% for >14 years), 8% on farms (31% for >14 years) and 6% on playgrounds. The maximum number of injuries was due to falls (35%). Eighty per cent of the injuries were minor (Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) 1), 18% were moderate or serious (AIS 2-3); none were severe (AIS 4) and one child had a critical injury (AIS 5). The injury rates per 100,000 children in different age groups were 5354, 6962 and 8060 for 0-4, 5-9 and 10-14 years per year.
本研究报告了在印度北部的九个相邻村庄开展的为期 1 年的 100%家庭伤害监测项目的结果，该地区总人口为 22883 人。14 名经过培训的现场工作人员每天走访 16-20 户家庭进行健康和伤害调查。在本文中，我们记录了农村家庭中儿童伤害的流行病学情况。如果伤害导致受害者无法继续家庭日常活动，就认为其受伤。共记录了 2029 例伤害病例。0-14 岁儿童占所有伤害病例的 611 例（30%），其中 42%在家中受伤（14 岁以上者占 28%），35%在道路上受伤（14 岁以上者占 30%），8%在农场受伤（14 岁以上者占 31%），6%在游乐场受伤。受伤的主要原因是跌倒（35%）。80%的伤害为轻度（损伤严重度评分（AIS）1 级），18%为中度或严重（AIS 2-3 级）；无重度（AIS 4 级）伤害，1 例儿童为极重度（AIS 5 级）伤害。不同年龄组每 10 万儿童的伤害发生率分别为 0-4 岁组为 5354 例、5-9 岁组为 6962 例、10-14 岁组为 8060 例。
