Abstract
Background and Objectives:Accidents and incidents are among the most important threats to human health and this is the most common cause of preventable mortality in children. The use of epidemiological information on incidents has proven to play a key role in preventing and controlling children's incidents. The aim of this study was to investigate injuries among children under 5 years of age that admitted to Emergency Hospitals of Kamyab and Taleghani affiliated to Mashhad University of Medical Sciences in 2016.
Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that all patients under 5 years old who were referred to Kamyab and Taleghani Hospital of Mashhad city in 2016 were studied by means of census. Medical records of Hospital Information System (HIS) was used for data collection employing gender, age, referral day, day of discharge, length of stay (LOS), type of incident, type of injury, member or members of the injured, type of insurance, that data were extracted from referring patients and then analyzed by SPSS-21 software.
Results: The highest incidence was among male (59%) and 2 years old children (20.8%). Among the respondents, the most types of insurance were Health insurance (34.6%). The most common type of injury was fracture (59%). Head injury was recorded as the most affected bodily collision (63.4%). August (12.5%) and summer (34.4%) were the most frequent month and season that events occurred. There was no significant relationship between age and sex with the type of injury.
Conclusion: The results showed that most crashes occurred at the age of two years. Because children at this age begin to play in open environments, parents need to be trained for prevention of childhood injuries. Also, safety issues should be considered during children playing game and their home safety environments.
