BACKGROUND: In West Africa, domestic accidents are generally underestimated, and only few scientific population-based studies have assessed their prevalence. When available, existing data often focus only a single type of accident. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of domestic accidents and their determinants among children aged 0-14 years in the Orodara health district in Burkina Faso.
METHODS: We surveyed a fixed number of households across all 37 villages of the Orodara health district, Kénédougou Province, Burkina Faso. The dependent variable was the occurrence of a domestic accident in a child aged 0 to 14 years, defined as an accident in the past six months that required treatment (coded 1 for "yes", and 0 for "no" otherwise). Independent variables included sociodemographic characteristics of the household and child. Data were analyzed using Stata software version 17.0, applying logistic regression with a 5% significance threshold.
RESULTS: Data from 1578 children from 802 mothers in 805 households were included in the analysis. We recorded 99 domestic accidents, corresponding to a prevalence of 6.27%. The main determinants of domestic accidents were the place of residence (adjusted odds ratio (ORa) = 2.9, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 1.44-5.84, p = 0.003), and the child's age, with children over 12 months being more likely to experience domestic accidents than those under 12 months.
CONCLUSION: Compared to the literature, domestic accidents are relatively uncommon in the Orodara health district of Burkina Faso, a result likely influenced by our study design. The main sociodemographic factors associated with higher injury risk were younger age and rural residence. The development of public awareness-raising strategies and campaigns may reduce the occurrence of domestic accidents in children.
