Celebrating the new year with fireworks is traditional in Italy. A national surveillance system maintained by police indicated that on New Year's Eve 1992, more than 1100 fireworks-related injuries and four deaths occurred in Italy (Ministry of the Interior, unpublished data, 1993). In many areas of the country, the use of fireworks begins several weeks before the new year and continues through the Epiphany (January 6). To characterize fireworks-related injuries in the province of Naples--an area that contains less than 6% of the total population of Italy but accounts for 15% of the reported fireworks-related injuries in the country--the Regional Health Observatory of Campania and the Italian field epidemiology training program implemented an active surveillance system in each of the 18 public emergency rooms (ERs) in the province (1992 population: 3.5 million). This report summarizes surveillance results for the new year period 1992-93.
在意大利，燃放烟花庆祝新年是一项传统习俗。警方维护的一项全国监测系统显示，1992年新年前夜，意大利发生了1100多起与烟花相关的伤害事件，并有4人死亡（内政部，未公布数据，1993年）。在该国许多地区，烟花的燃放从新年数周前就开始，并持续到主显节（1月6日）。为了了解那不勒斯省与烟花相关的伤害情况——该地区人口占意大利总人口不到6%，但却占全国报告的与烟花相关伤害事件的15%——坎帕尼亚地区卫生观察站和意大利现场流行病学培训项目在该省的18个公共急诊室中分别实施了一个主动监测系统（1992年人口：350万）。本报告总结了1992 - 1993年新年期间的监测结果。
