“…Children may also make sudden body movements or high-pitched sounds which can frighten dogs and precipitate an aggressive response (Overall and Love 2001 ). In addition, because of their “innate curiosity,” children may more readily approach strange dogs (Cohen-Manheim et al 2018 ).…”

Background In 2018, the most recent year for which data are available, dog bites ranked as the 13th leading cause of nonfatal emergency department visits in the United States. As dog ownership spirals upwards in the United States, it is important to continue to monitor the epidemiology of dog bite injuries. This study provides contemporary data on the incidence of dog bites injuries in the United States and in New York and profiles individuals who have been treated for dog bites in emergency departments. The study also examines the demographic correlates of the rate of injuries at the neighborhood level in New York City and maps the rate in each neighborhood. Methods At the national level, the study examines longitudinal data on dog bite injuries from 2005 to 2018 gathered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For New York, the study analyzes data for 2005–2018 collected by the New York State Department of Health. A negative binomial regression analysis was performed on the state data to measure the simultaneous effects of demographic variables on the incidence of dog-related injuries. A thematically shaded map of the rate of dog bite injuries in New York City’s neighborhoods was created to identify neighborhoods with higher-than-average concentration of injuries. Results In both the United States and New York the rate of dog-bite injuries increased from 2005 to 2011 and then underwent a significant decline. Injuries due to dog bites, however, still remain a sizable public health problem. Injuries are more prevalent among school-age children, inhabitants of less-densely populated areas, and residents of poorer neighborhoods. In New York City, poorer neighborhoods are also associated with fewer dogs being spayed or neutered. Conclusions To reduce the rate of dog bite injuries, prevention programs – particularly those which center on teaching the dangers of canine interactions with humans – should be targeted at children. Dog bite injuries tend to be clustered in identifiable neighborhoods. Dog bite prevention programs and stricter enforcement of dog laws can target these neighborhoods.

“…「奈良のシカ」が関係した外傷の特徴として，まずはその年齢分布がある。人との距離が近い動物として犬が挙げられるが，犬咬傷で入院した約1,000例を分析した報告において，15歳未満の小児，とくに男児は受傷リスクが高いと報告されており 4)，本研究において5歳以下の男児に受傷者数のピークがあることと一致している（Fig. 2）。「生物学的弱者は外傷の高リスクでありシカへの餌やりを制限するべきである」という意見があったり，奈良公園の看板でも「高齢者や子供は注意」と掲示されていることは，本研究の結果からは妥当な内容と考える 5)。鹿に関連した小児の受傷機転の多くは直接外傷であることから（Fig.…”

要旨2014年1月1日～2018年12月31日の5年間に奈良公園およびその周辺に生息するニホンジカ（以下「奈良のシカ」）が関係した外傷による当院への救急搬送症例の特徴を記述疫学的に検討した。計49例の搬送があり，男性18名，女性31名で，5年間で3.6倍に増加していた。平均年齢は男性15.3±23.3歳，女性35.1±25.1歳と差を認めており，男性は5歳以下が67%を占め成人男性の搬送は少なかった。奈良市の居住者よりも，旅行者が86%と圧倒的に多かった。打撲傷が80%を占めていたが不安定型骨盤骨折などの入院を要する症例も含まれていた。受傷機転は角や体当たりによる外傷が59%，咬傷が4%，鹿との接触がなく鹿の接近を契機に人が転倒するなどして受傷した症例が31%，車両乗車中の鹿に関係した交通事故が6%であった。救急搬送された「奈良のシカ」による人への外傷症例の特徴として，犬外傷と同様に男児の受傷が多い傾向があるが，比較して咬傷は少なく，直接鹿との接触がないのに外傷を負う受傷形態があることが明らかになった。
