A telephone survey of all licensed group day-care centers serving 2- to 6-year-old children in Maryland was conducted to determine the rate of injuries, their nature, and the circumstances of occurrence. Eighty-two percent of the 523 operating centers were contacted. Two centers declined to participate. Twenty-nine injuries were reported. A total of 18,728 children were surveyed (children who attended half a day were given half credit per day) or 92,640 child-days. Yearly injury rates of 7.02% for medically attended injuries, 4.29% for injuries limiting activity, and a total yearly injury rate of 11.30% were calculated. This general injury rate was similar to incidence figures from a non-day-care center injury study. This lack of improvement in injury rates in licensed day care is of concern and deserves increased attention from pediatricians.
对马里兰州所有为2至6岁儿童提供服务的持牌集体日托中心进行了一项电话调查，以确定受伤率、受伤性质及发生情况。在523家运营中心中，82%的中心接受了联系。有两家中心拒绝参与。共报告了29起受伤事件。总共对18728名儿童进行了调查（半天制儿童按每天0.5次计算），即92640个儿童日。计算得出，需就医的伤害年发生率为7.02%，限制活动的伤害年发生率为4.29%，总年伤害发生率为11.30%。这一总体伤害发生率与非日托中心伤害研究的发生率数据相似。持牌日托中心的伤害发生率没有改善，这令人担忧，值得儿科医生给予更多关注。
