Abstract

Physical trauma occurred at home with children from zero to six years of age is a descriptive study outlining an epidemiologic case series that aims at characterising trauma and the situations in which it occurs. Subjects were 120 individuals legally responsible for hospitalized children of the mentioned age in the second semester of 2002. The study detected the necessity of implanting an information system in ambulatory care units and hospitals in order to get knowledge about several relevant variables, as sorts, frequency, circumstances and causes for the traumas. The necessity of an educational approach to prevention was also strongly evidenced.
