| Popis: | Unintentional accidents are very common in children and are the main reason for consultation and hospitalization in paediatric surgery. Aim: To determine the factors associated with unintentional accidents resulting in hospitalization. Material and methods: This is a cross sectional study carried out in the Paediatric Surgical Emergency Department of the Children's Hospital of Rabat over a period of 4 years. We processed 1205 children's files; the data was collected and analysed by Jamovi. Results: for the 545 files selected, the median was 8 years [4; 12] and boys were predominant (70.4%). Sociodemographic factors were represented by low health insurance. In 95.1% of cases, the family lived in a house (50.1%) or an apartment (45%) compared to 4.9% who had insanitary house. For parents' level of education, fathers had a high school education (43.6%) or never attended school (16.9%), compared to 32.9% of mothers who did not attend school. No adult was present during the accident (54.6%). The accident occurred on weekdays (73.2%), especially on winter and summer (41.6% and 33.8%). The main lesions were fractures (53%). The lesions involved the limbs (52.5%) and the head (30.2%) and were multiple in 6.5% of cases. The outcome was simple in 96.1%. |
