The aim of this study was to investigate home accidents among children and teenagers with regard to incidence and severity and to compare the accident rate at home with that of nursing homes/day-care centres. All accidents in the age group 0-19 years, in a defined population, were, during a period of one year, registered at public care centres. Our findings show that home accidents contributed to 26% of all accidents in the age group 0-19 and about 10% of all health care consumption. The accident rate decreased with age. The severity was about the same as in other accidents. 10% were hospitalized. When time of exposure had been taken into consideration there was no difference as to incidence between the accident rate at home as compared with the rate in nursing homes/daycare centres. When comparing with studies in the past there seems to be a lower rate of home accidents which can be explained by secular changes and local preventive measures.
本研究旨在调查儿童和青少年在家中发生事故的发生率和严重程度，并将家中事故发生率与疗养院/日托中心的事故发生率进行比较。在一年的时间里，对特定人群中0至19岁年龄段的所有事故在公共护理中心进行了登记。我们的研究结果表明，家中事故占0至19岁年龄段所有事故的26%，约占所有医疗保健消费的10%。事故发生率随年龄增长而下降。严重程度与其他事故大致相同。10%的事故导致住院。在考虑暴露时间后，家中事故发生率与疗养院/日托中心的事故发生率在发生率方面没有差异。与过去的研究相比，家中事故发生率似乎较低，这可以用长期变化和当地的预防措施来解释。
