Animal-related injuries from dogs and horses are common, with significant costs to healthcare. Cattle accidents and moose collisions incur the highest per-person expenses, impacting social security systems similarly to other major accident types.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Traumatology
  • Veterinary Medicine

Background:

  • Animal-related injuries pose a significant public health concern.
  • Understanding the epidemiology and economic impact of these injuries is crucial for resource allocation.
  • Previous studies have not comprehensively analyzed the costs associated with various animal-related injuries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the types and causes of animal-related injuries treated at a major hospital.
  • To quantify the economic burden of these injuries on healthcare and social security systems.
  • To compare the impact of animal-related injuries with other common accident types.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of patient data from the University Hospital of Umeå.

  • Categorization of injuries by animal type (dogs, horses, cattle) and accident circumstances (e.g., moose-car collisions).
  • Calculation of treatment costs and sickness benefits to determine the economic impact.

    • Main Results:

    • Dogs accounted for nearly half of all animal-related injuries, while horses caused one-third and the most fractures.
    • The overall cost of treatment and sickness benefits was distributed relatively evenly among horse, cattle, and dog injuries.
    • Cattle accidents and moose-car collisions resulted in the highest average cost per injured individual.

    Conclusions:

    • Dog and horse-related injuries represent a substantial burden on healthcare services.
    • While overall costs are widespread, specific incidents like cattle accidents and moose collisions have a disproportionately high per-person economic impact.
    • Animal-related injuries share significant similarities with occupational and traffic accidents in their impact on societal systems.
