IZ ARHIVE ANTIRABIČNE AMBULANTE GRADA ZAGREBA: HOSPITALIZIRANE OSOBE ZBOG UGRIZA ŽIVOTINJA U RAZDOBLJU OD 1995. DO 2006. GODINE
Get PDFAim: In the Zagreb Antirabies Clinic, which operates within the Reference Center for Rabies at Andrija Štampar Teaching Institute of Public Health in Zagreb, in the period from 1995 to 2006, there were 12 380 patients examined for injuries infl icted by animals, of which 147 (1.18%) were hospitalized in various Zagreb departments and hospitals due wound severity. Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from the offi cial patient registry of the Zagreb Antirabies Clinic. Results: Hospitalized patients were in an age range from 1 to 81 years, 63 (42.86%) were adults, and 84 (57.14%) children aged 1 to 16 years; among adults, there were 28 (44.44%) men and 35 (55.56%) women, while among children there were 45 (53.57%) boys and 39 (46.43%) girls. Discussion: Concerning animals involved in the incidents which led to hospitalization, dogs were by far the most frequent species, recorded in 74.82% of cases; other animals were, in the order of frequency, cats, rats, a pig and a donkey. The dogs of known owners were represented five times more often than stray dogs. Conclusion: There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of hospitalization between children and adults, while dogs were significantly more likely to inflict injuries that ended in hospitalization than other animals, and patients were more often hospitalized after head and neck injuries or multiple injuries than due to injuries to limbs or hands and fingers.Cilj: U antirabičnoj ambulanti Referentnog centra za bjesnoću pri Nastavnom zavodu za javno zdravstvo „Dr. Andrija Štampar “ u Zagrebu u razdoblju od 1995. do 2006. godine ukupno je zbog ugriza životinja pregledano 12.380 bolesnika, od kojih je 147 (1,18%) hospitalizirano u bolnicama i klinikama grada Zagreba. Metode: Rezultati su prikupljeni retrospektivno iz službenog registra antirabične ambulante u Zagrebu. Rezultati: Hospitalizirani bolesnici bili su u dobnom rasponu od 1 do 81 godine, 63 (4,86%) odrasle osobe i 84 (57,14%) djece u dobi od 1 do 16 godina; od odraslih bilo je 28 (44,44%) muškaraca i 35 (55,56%) žena, a od djece 45 (53,57%) dječaka i 39 (46,43%) djevojčica. Rasprava: Od životinja koje su sudjelovale u incidentima koji su doveli do hospitalizacije psi su bili daleko najviše zastupljena vrsta (74,82% slučajeva), dok su ostale životinje po redu učestalosti bile mačke, štakori, svinja i magarac. Psi poznatih vlasnika bili su zastupljeni pet puta češće od pasa lutalica. Zaključak: Nema statistički značajne razlike u učestalosti hospitalizacije između djece i odraslih, dok su psi statistički značajno češće nanosili ozljede koje su završile hospitalizacijom u odnosu na druge životinje, a bolesnici su bili češće hospitalizirani nakon ozljeda glave i vrata ili višestrukih ozljeda nego zbog ozljeda udova ili šake i prstiju
