Abstract:
During the observance of Christmas, many families display decorations, which increases the risk of unfettered access and subsequent ingestion of small objects by children in the home. Our aim was to characterize the epidemiology of Christmas foreign body ingestion (CFBI) by children. National Electronic Injury Surveillance System data from 1997 to 2015 were obtained for children aged 0 to 17 years who presented to United States Emergency Departments matching \"ingested\" for \"artificial Christmas trees\"; \"Christmas tree lights\"; \"Christmas tree stands or supports\"; \"Christmas decorations, nonelectric\"; and \"Christmas decorations, electric\" (excluding tree lights). An estimated 22 224 children (95% confidence Interval = 18 107-26 340) presented to the emergency department for CFBI over the study period. Children aged 2 years and younger ingested Christmas objects most frequently ( P < .001). CFBI visits demonstrated a seasonal trend ( P < .001). Christmas decoration ingestions are a frequent reason for children to present to the ED, which require dedicated awareness for appropriate diagnosis and care.
摘要:
在庆祝圣诞节期间,许多家庭展示装饰品,这增加了儿童在家中不受限制地进入和随后摄入小物品的风险。我们的目的是表征儿童圣诞节异物摄入(CFBI)的流行病学。1997年至2015年的国家电子伤害监测系统数据是为0至17岁的儿童提供的,他们向美国急诊室提供了与“人造圣诞树”相匹配的“摄入”;“圣诞树灯”;“圣诞树架或支架”;“圣诞装饰品,非电\"和\"圣诞装饰品,电“(不包括树灯)。在研究期间,估计有22224名儿童(95%置信区间=18107-26340)被送往急诊科接受CFBI治疗。2岁及以下儿童最常摄入圣诞节物品(P<.001)。CFBI访问显示出季节性趋势(P<.001)。圣诞节装饰摄入是孩子们向ED展示的常见原因,这需要专门的意识来进行适当的诊断和护理。
