Abstract

Background Dog bites are a substantial public health concern. Rarely has hospitalizations resulting from dog bites been examined. We examined, at a national level, demographic and injury characteristics of dog-bites injuries requiring hospitalization to target prevention programs and policies for those who are at higher risk. Methods Data on hospitalizations due to dog-bite injuries with an ICD9-CM E906.0 coding were extracted from the Israeli National Trauma Registry between 2009-2016. We calculated the annual incidence of hospitalized dog-bite injuries and compared rates by Chi-squared test. Mantel Haenszel chi-squared test and Dickey-Fuller time-series analysis were used to test linear age and temporal trends, respectively. Results Overall 986 persons were hospitalized for dog-bite injuries between 2009-2016. An increasing significant trend over the 8-year-period in the proportion of hospitalized dog-bite injuries among all trauma hospitalizations was revealed among children between 0 and 14 years old (p = 0.01). Children had also approximately twice the risk for dog-bite injuries compared to persons aged between 15 and 94 years old (relative risk [RR] = 1.89, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.35-2.66, p Conclusions Children younger than 15 years, with greater extent in boys than girls, represent the high-risk demographic group for dog bites. Prevention programs targeting at this group should be implemented and translated into an actual reduction in the incidence of dog-bit…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
