Accidents in daily life (ADLs) are “unintentional injuries” that occur at home or in the immediate vicinity (garden, yard, garage, and other outbuildings), outdoors (in a store, on a sidewalk, near the home, etc.), at school, during sports activities, or while on vacation or engaging in leisure activities. AcVCs are very common. In France, they cause nearly 20,000 deaths and several hundred thousand hospitalizations each year. Despite their significance, they are not always a top public health priority, even though a significant proportion of them (one-third, or even half) could be prevented through appropriate preventive measures based on sound epidemiological knowledge of their occurrence. The Ongoing Survey on Accidents in Daily Life (Epac) provides part of this epidemiological knowledge. This report contains the detailed results of the EPAC survey for the years 2002 and 2003. Accidents resulting in emergency department visits are described according to location and mechanism of occurrence, activity at the time of the accident, resulting injury, injured body part, and treatment. Specific results are provided for children, for the elderly, and for accidents involving a barbecue, a horse, a dog, a ladder, a staircase, fireworks, an insect, a hot liquid, carbon monoxide, a door, a saw, or a bicycle. For the first time, national incidence rate estimates were established by extrapolating these data. In 2002, it was estimated that 4,450,000 people were victims of a household accident serious enough to require a visit to a hospital emergency department, representing an incidence rate of 7.5 accidents per 100 inhabitants. Overall, men are more frequently involved in accidents (2,600,000, or 9.1 accidents per 100 men) than women (1,850,000, or 6.0 accidents per 100 women). There are more male than female accident victims among those under 15 (1,000,000 boys, 700,000 girls) and among those aged 15–64 (1,450,000 men, 750,000 women). Among those over 65, the ratio of accident victims is reversed, with 150,000 men compared to 400,000 women. (R.A.)
