Dog bites in a U.S. county: age, body part and breed in paediatric dog bites
"Results
There was a negative correlation (?0.80, r2 = 0.64) between age and bite frequency. Children 0–3 years had a higher odds ratio (OR) of bites to the face {21.12, 95% confidence interval (CI): 17.61–25.33} and a lower OR of bites to the upper (OR: 0.14, 95% CI: 0.12–0.18) and lower (OR: 0.19, 95% CI: 0.14–0.27) extremities. ‘Pit bulls’ accounted for 27.2% of dog bites and were more common in children 13–18 years (p < 0.01). Shih?Tzu bites were more common in children three years of age and younger (p < 0.01)."
