Due to space constraints, bunk beds are a common sleeping arrangement in many homes. The height and design of the structure can present a fall and strangulation hazard, especially for young children. The primary purpose of this study was to describe bunk bed-related injuries reported to the Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (CHIRPP), 1990-2009.
CHIRPP is an injury and poisoning surveillance system operating in 11 pediatric and 4 general emergency departments across Canada. Records were extracted using CHIRPP product codes and narratives.
Over the 20-year surveillance period, 6002 individuals presented to Canadian emergency departments for an injury associated with a bunk bed. Overall, the frequency of bunk bed-related injuries in CHIRPP has remained relatively stable with an average annual percent change of 21.2% (21.8% to 20.5%). Over 90% of upper bunk-related injuries were due to falls and children 3-5 years of age were most frequently injured (471.2/100 000 CHIRPP cases).
Children with bunk bed-related injuries continue to present to Canadian emergency departments, many with significant injuries. Injury prevention efforts should focus on children under 6 years of age.
由于空间限制,双层床在许多家庭中是常见的睡眠安排。这种结构的高度和设计可能会带来跌落和窒息危险,尤其是对年幼儿童而言。本研究的主要目的是描述1990年至2009年向加拿大医院伤害报告与预防项目(CHIRPP)报告的与双层床相关的伤害情况。
CHIRPP是一个在加拿大11个儿科急诊科和4个综合急诊科运行的伤害与中毒监测系统。记录通过CHIRPP产品代码和叙述提取。
在20年的监测期内,6002人因与双层床相关的伤害前往加拿大急诊科就诊。总体而言,CHIRPP中与双层床相关伤害的发生率一直相对稳定,年均变化率为21.2%(从21.8%降至20.5%)。超过90%的上铺相关伤害是由跌落引起的,3至5岁的儿童受伤最为频繁(每10万例CHIRPP病例中有471.2例)。
因双层床相关伤害前往加拿大急诊科就诊的儿童持续存在,许多儿童伤势严重。伤害预防工作应聚焦于6岁以下儿童。
