Abstract
The present study takes into consideration the
work of a family paediatrician who works in a rural area in
central Tuscany. The study concerns the accidents occurred
to the assisted patients in twelve months. Overall number of
the accidents, child’s sex, age, place where the accident
happened, the kind of accident, whether the hospitalization
or particular tests were necessary, and the repeatability in the
same child were considered. In one year 93 children (10% of
the assisted) have had an accident. In half cases the accident
occurred in their houses. In 51 cases the child has been
brought to the emergency unit. Eight children have undergone
surgical operations and/or diagnostic tests. The epidemiological
relevance of accidents questions the communication
systems used to prevent them.
