During the observance of Christmas, many families display decorations, which increases the risk of unfettered access and subsequent ingestion of small objects by children in the home. Our aim was to characterize the epidemiology of Christmas foreign body ingestion (CFBI) by children. National Electronic Injury Surveillance System data from 1997 to 2015 were obtained for children aged 0 to 17 years who presented to United States Emergency Departments matching "ingested" for "artificial Christmas trees"; "Christmas tree lights"; "Christmas tree stands or supports"; "Christmas decorations, nonelectric"; and "Christmas decorations, electric" (excluding tree lights). An estimated 22 224 children (95% confidence Interval = 18 107-26 340) presented to the emergency department for CFBI over the study period. Children aged 2 years and younger ingested Christmas objects most frequently ( P < .001). CFBI visits demonstrated a seasonal trend ( P < .001). Christmas decoration ingestions are a frequent reason for children to present to the ED, which require dedicated awareness for appropriate diagnosis and care.

儿童过去，现在和未来的圣诞节摄取：1997年至2015年假期趋势回顾。

在圣诞节期间，许多家庭都会摆放装饰品，这增加了孩​​子自由进出以及随后孩子在家中摄入小物品的风险。我们的目标是表征儿童圣诞节异物摄入（CFBI）的流行病学。获得了1997年至2015年国家电子伤害监测系统的数据，这些数据来自0至17岁的儿童，这些儿童提交给美国急诊部门，对“人造圣诞树”的“食用”与之匹配；“圣诞树灯”；“圣诞树站立或支撑”；“非圣诞节装饰”；和“圣诞节用电装饰”（不包括树灯）。在研究期间，估计有22 224名儿童（95％置信区间= 18 107-26 340）提交给了CFBI急诊科。2岁及以下的孩子最常摄入圣诞节物品（P <.001）。CFBI的访视表现出季节性趋势（P <.001）。摄入圣诞节装饰是儿童向急诊室求诊的常见原因，这需要专门的意识以进行适当的诊断和护理。
