%X A study of childhood injuries of 0-14 year-olds children based on emergency room records of the five hospitals was conducted in USL 39 of Emilia-Romagna during 1988. The incidence of visits was 164, 14/1000 child-years with 95% confidence intervals (CI = 163, 28-165). The rate was 198, 93/1000 child-years (CI = 195, 36-202, 51) among the 0-4 year-olds, 140, 65/1000 child-years (CI = 139, 17-142, 13) in the 5-9 age group and 170, 86/1000 child-years (CI = 169, 77-171, 95) among 10-14 year-olds. The male to female ratio was 1.4 for the 0-4 year-olds, 1.7 for the 5-9 year-olds and for the 10-14 year-olds. The most frequent causes of injuries were falls (49.52%), being road accidents (22.1%) and bites-stings (17.4%); 4.8% of the injured children were admitted to hospital and 0.044% dead.<p /> <p>Language: it</p>
