OBJECTIVES
The aim of this study was to estimate the incidence of acute pesticide poisoning among children in South Korea and describe the related epidemiologic characteristics.
METHODS
We evaluated the age-standardized rates of incidence of pesticide poisoning among children in South Korea from 2006 through 2009 using National Health Insurance claims data.
RESULTS
A total of 1232 children aged 0-14 years were identified from the acute pesticide poisoning cases reported across South Korea during the study period. The annual average age-standardized rate of incidence from acute pesticide poisoning was 3.6 per 100 000. The majority of the cases were identified in the categories of the 1-4-year-old age-group (56.5%), outpatients (80.0%), single-day visit to a hospital (70.4%) and summer occurrence (43.3%).
CONCLUSIONS
Acute pesticide poisoning is prevalent among children in South Korea; therefore, intervention efforts are needed to reduce the cases of pesticide poisoning among children.
目的
本研究旨在估计韩国儿童急性农药中毒的发生率，并描述相关的流行病学特征。
方法
我们利用国家健康保险索赔数据，评估了 2006 年至 2009 年期间韩国儿童农药中毒的年龄标准化发生率。
结果
本研究共纳入了来自韩国各地报告的 1232 例 0-14 岁儿童急性农药中毒病例。急性农药中毒的年平均年龄标准化发生率为每 100000 人 3.6 例。大多数病例发生在 1-4 岁年龄组（56.5%）、门诊患者（80.0%）、单次就诊（70.4%）和夏季（43.3%）。
结论
韩国儿童急性农药中毒较为常见；因此，需要采取干预措施减少儿童农药中毒的发生。
