To review playground injury statistics over a five year period in order to develop an awareness of how and where children in the United States are being injured.
All data are based on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission's National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) for playground related injuries during 1990-4. The surveillance data includes injuries recorded in more than 90 hospital emergency departments located throughout the United States.
Each year there are roughly 211,000 preschool or elementary school-children in the United States who receive emergency department care for injuries associated with playground equipment. On average, 17 of these cases result in death. 70% of all injuries occur on public playgrounds, with nearly one third classified as severe. Swings, climbers, and slides are the pieces of playground equipment associated with 88% of all NEISS reported injuries. Falls to the surface are responsible for 70%.
NEISS playground injury statistics contribute to our understanding of playground injuries. By identifying where and how children are injured, suggestions can be made in an attempt to make playgrounds safer.
回顾五年期间游乐场受伤统计数据,以了解美国儿童受伤的方式和地点。
所有数据基于美国消费品安全委员会的国家电子伤害监测系统(NEISS),该系统记录了1990年至1994年期间与游乐场相关的伤害情况。监测数据包括美国各地90多家医院急诊科记录的伤害情况。
美国每年约有21.1万名学龄前儿童或小学生因游乐场设备受伤而接受急诊科治疗。平均而言,其中17例导致死亡。所有伤害中有70%发生在公共游乐场,近三分之一被归类为重伤。秋千、攀爬架和滑梯与NEISS报告的所有伤害中的88%有关。摔倒在地导致了70%的伤害。
NEISS游乐场伤害统计数据有助于我们了解游乐场伤害情况。通过确定儿童受伤的地点和方式,可以提出改进建议,以使游乐场更安全。
