There is limited epidemiological data on childhood injuries in developing countries. This study assessed the incidence, patterns and risk factors for injuries among children aged 0-5 years in Wakiso District, Uganda. To determine differences, chi-square and Wilcoxon rank sum tests were used. Risk factors were assessed using Poisson regression. Overall, information from 359 children of mean age 32 months (SD: 18.4) was collected. Annual incidence of injuries was 69.8 per 1000 children/year (95% CI 58.8-80.8). One fatal injury due to burns was reported. Incidence of injuries was less associated with being female (IRR: 0.56, 95% CI 0.34-0.90) and increasing age of the caretaker (IRR: 0.96, 95% CI 0.92-0.99). The high incidence of childhood injuries necessitates the need for interventions to reduce injuries among children.
发展中国家关于儿童伤害的流行病学数据有限。本研究评估了乌干达瓦基索区0至5岁儿童伤害的发生率、模式及风险因素。为确定差异，使用了卡方检验和威尔科克森秩和检验。风险因素采用泊松回归进行评估。总体而言，收集了359名平均年龄32个月（标准差：18.4）儿童的信息。伤害的年发生率为每1000名儿童69.8例/年（95%置信区间58.8 - 80.8）。报告了1例因烧伤导致的致命伤害。伤害发生率与女性（发病率比：0.56，95%置信区间0.34 - 0.90）及看护人年龄增长（发病率比：0.96，95%置信区间0.92 - 0.99）的关联较小。儿童伤害的高发生率使得有必要采取干预措施以减少儿童中的伤害。
