OBJECTIVE
To estimate the incidence of dog bite-related injuries requiring public sector hospitalisation in Australia during the period 2001-13.
METHODS
Summary data on public sector hospitalisations due to dog bite-related injuries with an ICD 10-AM W54.0 coding were sourced from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare for the study period 2001-2013.
RESULTS
In Australia, on average, 2,061 persons were hospitalised each year for treatment for dog bite injuries at an annual rate of 12.39 (95%CI 12.25-12.53) per 100,000 during 2001-13. The highest annual rates of 25.95 (95%CI 25.16-26.72) and 18.42 (95%CI 17.75-19.07) per 100,000 were for age groups 0-4 and 5-9 years respectively. Rates of recorded events increased over the study period and reached 16.15 (95%CI 15.78-16.52) per 100,000 during 2011-13.
CONCLUSION
Dog bites are a largely unrecognised and growing public health problem in Australia. Implications for public health: There is an increasing public sector burden of hospitalisations for injuries from dog bites in Australia.
目的
估算2001年至2013年期间澳大利亚因狗咬伤而需在公立医院住院治疗的受伤发生率。
方法
从澳大利亚卫生与福利研究所获取2001年至2013年研究期间因狗咬伤相关伤害且国际疾病分类第十版澳大利亚修订本（ICD 10-AM）编码为W54.0的公立医院住院汇总数据。
结果
在澳大利亚，2001年至2013年期间，平均每年有2061人因狗咬伤接受住院治疗，每10万人的年发生率为12.39（95%置信区间12.25 - 12.53）。0至4岁和5至9岁年龄组的年发生率最高，分别为每10万人25.95（95%置信区间25.16 - 26.72）和18.42（95%置信区间17.75 - 19.07）。在研究期间，记录事件的发生率有所上升，在2011年至2013年期间达到每10万人16.15（95%置信区间15.78 - 16.52）。
结论
在澳大利亚，狗咬伤在很大程度上是一个未得到充分认识且日益严重的公共卫生问题。对公共卫生的影响：在澳大利亚，因狗咬伤导致的住院治疗给公共部门带来的负担日益加重。
