This article reviews the literature on accidental injury in childhood, summarizing incidence rates and outlining the factors which have been cited as affecting pediatric trauma: the host, the agents, and the environment. During childhood, age and sex differences for rates of accidental injury are frequently reported. Vehicular accidents, falls, drownings, burns, and ingestions are found to be common agents of injury to pediatric patients. The home affords a virtual breeding ground for accidents to children; however, parents also play an important role in the child's environment, with their illnesses, preoccupations, or dispositions to (in)action having consequences which may eventuate in injury.
本文回顾了有关儿童意外伤害的文献，总结了发病率，并概述了被认为影响儿童创伤的因素：宿主、致伤因素和环境。在儿童时期，经常有关于意外伤害发生率的年龄和性别差异的报道。交通事故、跌倒、溺水、烧伤和误食被发现是儿科患者常见的致伤因素。家庭实际上为儿童意外事故提供了滋生地；然而，父母在孩子的环境中也起着重要作用，他们的疾病、关注点或行动倾向会产生可能导致受伤的后果。
