Most of them are not serious but they can be fatal. A suspected foreign body injury in a child results in a high rate of hospitalizations, exposure to radiation, and need for intervention. This study aimed to analyze the current epidemiology of in-hospital or out of hospital treated foreign object injuries and suspected foreign body injuries in children.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Material and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All children &lt;16\u2009years of age (N\u2009=\u2009152) who suffered or were suspected to suffer (N\u2009=\u200963) from a foreign body injury and were treated in a pediatric trauma unit of Oulu University Hospital, Oulu, Finland, over a 6-year study period (2008\u20132013) were included. A comprehensive chart review was completed in order to evaluate injury history, age at the time of trauma, treatment and characteristics of the foreign objects.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The majority (57.9%, N\u2009=\u200988) of the injuries were found in children &lt;3\u2009years of age. There was a male predominance (60.5%, N\u2009=\u200992). The most common anatomical site where the foreign body was found was the nose (28.9%, N\u2009=\u200944), followed by the esophagus (20.4%, N\u2009=\u200931) and the eye (11.2%, N\u2009=\u200917). Foreign objects were also found in the lower airways (10.5%, N\u2009=\u200916), ear (10.5%, N\u2009=\u200916), bowel (9.9%, N\u2009=\u200915), throat (3.9%, N\u2009=\u20096), stomach (3.9%, N\u2009=\u20096), and urethra (0.7%, N\u2009=\u20091). Various household items were the most common foreign bodies (33.6%, N\u2009=\u200951). Toys in particular caused 22.4% (N\u2009=\u200934) of the injuries. In-hospital intervention was necessary for 38.5% of the patients (N\u2009=\u200958). Intervention was needed in 39.7% (N\u2009=\u200925\/63) of the patients who were suspected to suffer from foreign body but did not.
