abstract="OBJECTIVES: To illustrate the potential of injury surveillance data from an emergency department surveillance system. SETTING: Bath clinical area. METHODS: Data for children (0-4 years old) resident in Bath city in UK were recoded and analysed. RESULTS: There were a total of 3144 attendances and 2300 unintentional injuries - equivalent to an attendance rate of 131/1000. There were 91 thermal injuries and 162 poisoning/ingestions. Descriptive information is presented on the circumstances and consequences. CONCLUSION: The majority of unintentional injuries in 0-4 year olds occur in the home, which is a modifiable environment. Detailed information around the circumstances available from the Bath injury surveillance system allows better focus for prevention messages and priority setting.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
