Every year in France, dog bites result in several thousand visits to emergency rooms and numerous hospitalizations. Following the “Gravité” epidemiological study of 485 dog bites treated in the emergency departments of eight hospitals between May 1, 2009, and June 30, 2010, a “Séquelles” survey was conducted among 298 individuals 16 months after the bite, between September 2010 and December 2011. This involved collecting information from patients by telephone or mail, focusing on sequelae. Nearly half of bite victims (47%) reported suffering from sequelae, most often cosmetic in nature (nine out of ten times). Sequelae were more common when the bite was to the head or lower limbs; sequelae were more common among women, when the biting dog was heavier, and when the initial severity of the bite was higher. In contrast, the existence of a relationship between the victim and the dog, the dog’s sex, the type of attack, and age (under or over 15 years) had no influence on the occurrence of sequelae. One in seven people still reported experiencing pain 16 months after the bite, with women reporting it more often than men. No studies providing this type of result were found in the literature. Disseminating these results to professionals (veterinarians) as well as to the public should help raise awareness among dog owners about the risk of bites and ways to prevent them. (R.A.)
