In a case control study, 70 children consecutively hospitalized for acute ingestion of poisons were compared with 140 other hospitalized children matched for age. Children aged less than 3 years and boys were most often the victims. Univariate analysis identified Indian race, having a parent younger than 21 years, residing at present address for less than 1 year and living in a household with more than five occupants as significant risk factors. Experience of a recent stressful event in the family barely failed to reach the level of significance. Logistic regression analysis confirmed that Indian race, having a parent younger than 21 years and residing less than 1 year at the present address were independent predictors of acute poisoning. Positive interactions were noted between Indian race and duration of residence and between parental age and duration of residence. Knowledge of risk factors and their interactions may be useful in planning preventive measures against childhood poisoning.
在一项病例对照研究中，将70名因急性中毒而连续住院的儿童与140名年龄匹配的其他住院儿童进行了比较。3岁以下儿童和男孩最常成为受害者。单因素分析确定印度种族、父母年龄小于21岁、在现住址居住不到1年以及居住在人口超过5人的家庭中为显著危险因素。家庭近期发生应激事件的经历勉强未达到显著水平。逻辑回归分析证实，印度种族、父母年龄小于21岁以及在现住址居住不到1年是急性中毒的独立预测因素。在印度种族与居住时间之间以及父母年龄与居住时间之间发现了正相关。了解危险因素及其相互作用可能有助于制定预防儿童中毒的措施。
