The objective of this study is to explore the magnitude and pattern of electrical injury in Bangladesh.
A national survey was conducted between January and December 2003 in Bangladesh. Nationally representative data were collected from 171,366 rural and urban households comprising a 819,429 population. The survey was conducted at a household level with a structured questionnaire.
The incidence of fatal and non-fatal injury was found to be 1.6 and 73.7 per 100,000 population year respectively. Compared to females, males were found at a higher risk (RR 1.62; 95% CI 1.37-1.91) and rural people found more vulnerable compared to urban people (RR 5.97; 95% CI 4.71-7.57). The home was found as the most common place for electrical injury, with more than 50% of injury taking place at home. The household source of electricity was found as the most common source of electrical injury. Lightning was also found as major source for electrical injury which constituted more than 25% of the injuries cause by electrical current. More than 80% of electrical injuries occurred between 6a.m. and 6p.m.
Electrical injury is an emerging cause of mortality and morbidity in both urban and rural areas of Bangladesh. Males and rural people were the more vulnerable group for electrical injury compared to women and the urban population. The home is the most common place for injury occurrence.
本研究旨在探讨孟加拉国电气伤害的严重程度和模式。
2003 年 1 月至 12 月期间在孟加拉国进行了一项全国性调查。从包含 819429 人口的 171366 个农村和城市家庭中收集了具有代表性的数据。调查是在家庭一级进行的，使用结构化问卷。
致命和非致命伤害的发生率分别为每 10 万人年 1.6 和 73.7。与女性相比，男性的风险更高（RR1.62；95%CI1.37-1.91），农村人比城市人更容易受到伤害（RR5.97；95%CI4.71-7.57）。家庭被认为是电气伤害最常见的地方，超过 50%的伤害发生在家里。家庭用电被认为是电气伤害最常见的来源。闪电也是电气伤害的主要来源，超过 25%的电流伤害是由闪电引起的。超过 80%的电气伤害发生在上午 6 点到下午 6 点之间。
电气伤害是孟加拉国城乡地区日益严重的死亡和发病原因。与女性和城市人口相比，男性和农村人口更容易受到电气伤害。家庭是伤害发生的最常见场所。
