ABSTRACT

El objetivo de la investigación fue establecer la asociación entre la gravedad de las lesiones accidentales que provocan la demanda de atención hospitalaria en niños menores de cinco años, y el trabajo materno. Se utilizó un diseño de casos y controles en seis hospitales pediátricos del Distrito Federal; los niños lesionados cuya atención requirió hospitalización, cirugía, terapia intensiva o que fallecieron como consecuencia de la lesión constituyeron los casos y aquéllos cuya atención fue resuelta en el servicio de urgencias, los controles. El tamaño de la muestra fue de 700 niños (359 casos y 350 controles). Las variables fueron el trabajo materno, las características tanto en niños como socioeconómicas, el cuidado infantil y los riesgos de la vivienda. Los resultados estadísticamente significativos con una p< 0.05, fueron: cuando la madre trabaja en condiciones aceptables se encontró un "efecto protector", razón de momios (RM) 0.44; si es menor de 24 años, RM 1.40; si tiene escolaridad baja , RM 2.3; cuando se brindó una atención inadecuada RM 2.76, y si hubo un retraso en la demanda mayor de 60 min, RM 1.68. El estudio permite identificar los factores de riesgo asociados con lesiones graves y con el trabajo materno


A study was conducted in children under five years old, in order to establish the association between the mother's work and the severity of unintentional injuries. The study was carried out at the emergency room of six pediatric hospitals in Mexico City. Cases were children with major injuries that required hospitalization, intensive care, surgery, or who died as a result of the injury. Controls were children of similar age, with minor injuries resolved at the emergency room. Sample size was 350 cases and 350 controls. Variables were grouped according to: mother's occupation; characteristics of the child, socioeconomic status, child care, and those related with home risk factors. Results showed a protective effect on severity of injuries when the mother worked outside home in comparison to mothers who do not work, (or 0.79, 95%CI 0.57-1.07). No differences were found with respect to sex and age of children. Mother age under 24 years old and low schooling (<3 years of elementary school) were statistically significant with a risk of major injuries (or 2.30, 95%ci 1.5-3.4). Delay of demand of medical care after 60 minutes of injury occurrence is related with a risk of major injury (or 1.68, 95% CI 1.2-2.3). No differences related with household risk factors were found. Results provide valuable information about risk factors related with injury severity and the association with mother's work.
