Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the epidemiological trends, primary ocular diagnosis, and degree of injury severity in pediatric patients after a toy-related ocular trauma.

Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System Study (NEISS), encompassing patients who visited emergency departments over a 5-year period from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2021, with toy-related ocular injuries. Descriptive statistics were employed using Microsoft Excel.

Results: Among the 1439 toy-related ocular injuries identified, the mean age of injury was 6.67 ± 4.36 years. The highest proportion of injuries occurred in the 2-5 years age group (27.2%). The NEISS database classified the severity of injury - the majority of which were minor anterior segment injuries. Toy guns with projectiles were identified as the most common type of toy associated with ocular eye injury. While most injuries were minor, a small percentage was severe.

Conclusion: Age-appropriate toy selection and adult supervision during playtime are recommended preventive measures to mitigate the incidence and severity of traumatic eye injuries in children.

美国儿童玩具导致的眼部伤害：全国电子伤害监测系统研究》。

目的：本研究旨在评估与玩具相关的眼外伤后儿科患者的流行病学趋势、主要眼部诊断和受伤严重程度：本研究利用美国国家电子伤害监测系统研究（NEISS）的数据进行了横断面分析，这些数据涵盖了从 2017 年 1 月 1 日至 2021 年 12 月 31 日的 5 年时间内因玩具相关眼部伤害而前往急诊科就诊的患者。使用 Microsoft Excel 进行了描述性统计：在已确认的 1439 例玩具相关眼部损伤患者中，平均受伤年龄为 6.67 ± 4.36 岁。2-5岁年龄组的受伤比例最高（27.2%）。NEISS 数据库对受伤的严重程度进行了分类，其中大部分为轻微的前节损伤。带弹丸的玩具枪是最常见的眼部损伤相关玩具。虽然大多数伤害是轻微的，但也有一小部分是严重的：结论：建议采取适合儿童年龄的玩具选择和玩耍时的成人监护等预防措施，以降低儿童眼外伤的发生率和严重程度。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
