We describe trends in cell phone-related injuries in patients 21 years of age and under presenting to United States Emergency Departments. We calculated age-adjusted rates of cell phone-related injury per 100 000 individuals using data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database and United States Census Bureau. From 2002 to 2015, an estimated 38 063 patients 21 years old and younger sustained a cell phone-related injury. The overall rate of injuries for all ages increased from 17.1 injuries per 100 000 in 2002 to 138 injuries per 100 000 in 2015, an increase of over 700%. The incidence of cell phone-related injuries increased across all age groups, with children 2 years of age and under experiencing the highest single incidence rate of 159 injuries per 100 000 in 2014. These findings highlight an important and relatively under-reported pediatric safety issue. Anticipatory guidance and injury prevention plans should be updated accordingly.
我们描述了前往美国急诊科就诊的21岁及以下患者中与手机相关损伤的趋势。我们使用国家电子伤害监测系统（NEISS）数据库和美国人口普查局的数据，计算了每10万人中与手机相关损伤的年龄调整率。2002年至2015年期间，估计有38063名21岁及以下的患者遭受了与手机相关的损伤。所有年龄段的总体损伤率从2002年的每10万人17.1例增加到2015年的每10万人138例，增长超过700%。与手机相关损伤的发生率在所有年龄组中均有所增加，2岁及以下儿童在2014年的单一发病率最高，为每10万人159例。这些发现凸显了一个重要且相对未得到充分报道的儿童安全问题。应相应更新预期性指导和伤害预防计划。
