Abstract

A total of 780 children with scorpion stings were admitted to a referral hospital in Saudi Arabia over a 7-year period. A similar number was managed in the outpatient department. The mortality was 4.8% initially, but no death occurred in the last 2 years of the study period. The reduction in mortality is attributed to the use of antivenom and improvement in case management.

摘要

在7年的时间里，共有780名被蝎子蜇伤的儿童被送往沙特阿拉伯的一家转诊医院。门诊部门处理了类似数量的病例。最初的死亡率为4.8%，但在研究期的最后两年没有死亡病例发生。死亡率的降低归因于抗蛇毒血清的使用和病例管理的改善。
