This study concerns all types of accidents which occurred within 1 year in children less than 15 years of age in 2 limited geographic areas: one urban, the other rural. 937 accidents have been registered. The accidental morbidity rate is 90 per 1,000 and the mortality rate 0.2 per 1,000 (close to the national average). Approximately 30% of accidents occur at home, 30% at school, 40% outside. Accidental death is more frequent in males, this difference increasing after the age of 10 years. The cost of the care was rather high, even though most of the accidents have had minor or no consequences. Nevertheless, 1% of them have been very serious involving either severe injury cured without sequelae (0.2 per 1,000), definite sequelae (0.6 per 1,000) or death (0.2 per 1,000).
本研究关注的是在两个有限地理区域内15岁以下儿童在1年内发生的各类事故：一个是城市地区，另一个是农村地区。已登记了937起事故。意外发病率为每1000人中有90例，死亡率为每1000人中有0.2例（接近全国平均水平）。大约30%的事故发生在家中，30%发生在学校，40%发生在户外。意外死亡在男性中更为常见，这种差异在10岁以后会增大。护理费用相当高，尽管大多数事故造成的后果轻微或没有后果。然而，其中1%的事故非常严重，包括治愈后无后遗症的重伤（每1000人中有0.2例）、有明确后遗症的重伤（每1000人中有0.6例）或死亡（每1000人中有0.2例）。
