To determine the prevalence of related-home injuries among children who were admitted for at least 24 hours in the surgical pediatric emergencies department, in the Children's hospital of Rabat, Morocco. Methods: a transversal retrospective study about children with home-related injuries carried out between January 1 and June 30, 2014. Indicators included: age, gender, cause, month, lesions, duration and location of hospital staying, surgery and evolution. The data entered on Excel and analyzed by SPSS 13. Results: 761 files from 900 hospitalizations were studied. Male were 75% and the median of age was 8 years 3years; 13 years. The leading causes of non-fatal injuries were falls, cut or piercing and burns. The lesions were head injuries (154 cases), fractures (433 cases), gate fingers (61 patients), burns (52 cases) and bipolar trauma (28 patients). Length of stay is 24 hours in 74.8%. The majority of patients was hospitalized in the emergency department and received nonoperative treatment with a simple evolution (respectively 96.1%, 73.1% and 90.6%). Conclusion: home related injuries deserve to be taken seriously.

Abstract: (french)
Les accidents de la vie courante constituent un problème de santé publique dans certains pays. Au Maroc, ce phénomène n'est toujours pas exploré. Objectif : déterminer la prévalence des patients hospitalisés pour des traumatismes liés aux accidents de la vie courante. Matériels et méthodes : Nous avons réalisé une étude transversale rétrospective concernant les enfants hospitalisés au moins 24 heures au service des urgences chirurgicales pédiatriques de l'hôpital d'enfants de Rabat, Maroc, suite à des accidents de la vie courante, entre 1 Janvier 2014 et 30 Juin 2014. Les variables concernées sont l'âge, le sexe, les mois de l'année, les circonstances, les lésions, la durée et le lieu d'hospitalisation, la notion d'intervention chirurgicale ainsi que l'évolution. Les données étaient saisies sur Excel et analysées par SPSS13. Résultats : 900 hospitalisations pour accidents de la vie courante ont été retrouvées, 761 dossiers ont été retenus. Il existe une prédominance masculine (75%), avec une médiane d'âge de 8 ans 3ans; 13 ans. Les étiologies étaient dominées par les chutes, les pincements et les brûlures. Les lésions causées étaient les traumatismes crâniens (154 cas), de fractures (433 cas), de doigts de porte (61 patients), de brûlures (52 cas) et de traumatismes bipolaires (28 patients). La durée d'hospitalisation est de 24 heures dans 74,8%. La majorité des patients a été hospitalisée au service des urgences et a bénéficié d'un traitement non opératoire avec une évolution simple (Respectivement 96,1%, 73,1% et 90,6%). Conclusion: Les accidents de la vie courante méritent d'être pris au sérieux.
