To investigate the frequency and severity of accidents to children in schools.
Retrospective analysis of accidents occurring in school over a six month period and resulting in attendance at an accident and emergency department. Comparison was made with accidents occurring in public places,
During the study period there were 127 school and 251 public place accidents causing fractures or dislocations requiring hospital treatment in 3-16 year old children; 22.4% (127/567) of all injuries at school resulted in fractures or dislocations, as opposed to 20.8% (251/1197) of those sustained in public places.
Injuries at school are a cause for concern as they occur in a supervised environment and this should be the target of accident prevention measures.
调查学校中儿童事故的发生频率和严重程度。
回顾性分析六个月期间在学校发生并导致前往事故与急诊科就诊的事故。与在公共场所发生的事故进行比较。
在研究期间，有127起学校事故和251起公共场所事故导致3至16岁儿童发生骨折或脱位而需要住院治疗；学校所有伤害中有22.4%（127/567）导致骨折或脱位，而在公共场所受伤的这一比例为20.8%（251/1197）。
学校中的伤害令人担忧，因为它们发生在有监管的环境中，这应该成为事故预防措施的目标。
