“…However, 75% of foreign body ingestion occurs in children under 5 years old and is mostly asymptomatic (2). Button batteries (3), multiple magnets (4) (5), and metal objects (6) are known to cause life-threatening complications if accidentally ingested. There have been reports of children ingesting multiple magnets, resulting in gastrointestinal perforation, peritonitis, and even death (7).…”

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate a recently developed scoring system for managing foreign body ingestion in children. METHODS: We developed a foreign-body ingestion scoring system to help residents determine the appropriate course of actionin the emergency department. The assessment items included the patient's age, mood, and gastrointestinal symptoms, as well as the type, location, and size of the ingested foreign body. The pediatric patients were divided into three categories: observation at home (Class A), pediatrician consultation (Class B), and pediatrician consultation considering contrast-enhanced CT for possible gastrointestinal injury (Class C). RESULTS: The treatment of 158 children was evaluated using the coring system, 79 of whom had confirmed foreign body ingestion. Class A resulted in a higher rate of follow-up, whereas the rate of invasive treatment increased significantly when rated as Class B or C. Few cases of unnecessary invasive treatment arose, and the recommendations suggested by the scoring system closely matched the results obtained using the reference management algorithm. CONCLUSIONS: The novel scoring system will be useful to residents when considering the appropriate course of action to manage foreign body ingestion in pediatric patients.

Foreign body (FB) ingestion is a common accident encountered in daily paediatric practice. Three-fourths of patients with accidental FB ingestions occur in children aged ≤ 5 years. 1 Although most children with accidental FB ingestion are asymptomatic and FBs such as coin will pass with no gastrointestinal symptoms, button batteries, 2 multiple magnets 3 and magnets with metal objects 4 are known to sometimes cause life-threatening complications. Deaths following multiple-magnet ingestion have been reported. 5 Magnets are widely used in daily life as toys or pasting tools that are utilised to paste documents or photographs on metal products such as whiteboards and refrigerators. The number of accidental ingestions of magnets is increasing. 6,7 A study in the United States revealed an 8.5-fold increase of emergency department visits involving magnet ingestion. 6 The hazards of single-magnet ingestion
