The severity of injuries from home accidents was assessed in 402 children under the age of 5 treated in the accident department of an inner London hospital. Our child injury severity scale comprises three grades of severity for six types of injury. There was moderate agreement between the observer and an assessor in categorising the cases. Burns and scalds and poisoning caused more severe injuries than other accidents. A strong correlation was found between the parent's social class and the severity of the accident, but there was no correlation with ethnic group as indicated by the parents' country of birth. The development of a reliable scale of severity is important if programmes of prevention of accidents to children in the home are to be evaluated successfully.
对伦敦市中心一家医院事故科收治的402名5岁以下儿童的家庭事故受伤严重程度进行了评估。我们的儿童伤害严重程度量表包括六种伤害类型的三个严重等级。在对病例进行分类时，观察者和评估者之间存在中等程度的一致性。烧伤、烫伤和中毒造成的伤害比其他事故更严重。发现父母的社会阶层与事故严重程度之间存在很强的相关性，但与父母出生国所表明的种族群体没有相关性。如果要成功评估预防儿童家庭事故的方案，制定可靠的严重程度量表很重要。
