The risk associated with poisonings in children was assessed on 6175 subjects admitted to the pediatric hospitals of 3 regions of Northern Italy between 1975 and 1990. The frequency of exposures and the severity of sequelae allowed high- and low-risk substances to be identified. Risks were studied separately in the 0-4, 5-9 and 10-13 y age group to determine age-related differences. A decrease in drug-related poisonings and an increase of those caused by household products, particularly in the first 2 y of life, were observed in 1983-90 as against 1975-82 in association with the introduction of safety caps and containers for drugs. Our study points out the need to strengthen active primary prevention through health education and parental and adolescent information, and to improve passive prevention through the extension of safety closures to household products.
1975年至1990年间，对意大利北部3个地区儿童医院收治的6175名儿童的中毒风险进行了评估。根据接触频率和后遗症严重程度，确定了高风险和低风险物质。对0至4岁、5至9岁和10至13岁年龄组分别进行风险研究，以确定与年龄相关的差异。与1975年至1982年相比，1983年至1990年期间，与药物相关的中毒事件有所减少，而家庭用品导致的中毒事件有所增加，尤其是在生命的前两年，这与药物安全瓶盖和容器的引入有关。我们的研究指出，有必要通过健康教育以及向家长和青少年提供信息来加强积极的一级预防，并通过扩大安全瓶盖在家庭用品中的应用来改善被动预防。
