The objective of this work is the epidemiological, clinical and evolutionary aspects of the cases of domestic accidents recorded during the Covid-19 pandemic, and to evaluate the repercussions on their profile in terms of frequency, type and gravity. This is a descriptive and comparative study of cases of domestic accidents, admitted and managed in the pediatric emergency services of the Hassan II University Hospital of Fez, during the two periods before and during the Covid-19 pandemic, from July to December of the year 2020 and over the same period of the previous year 2019. There was an increase of 63.41% in domestic accident cases during the Covid-19 period. The average age of patients was high during the pandemic period (4.11 years vs 2.5 years) with a male predominance in the same periods. The analysis of the types of domestic accidents was marked by an increase in tracheobronchial foreign body inhalations in the Covid-19 era, from 7.31% to 16.41%, and intoxications, which rose from 2.40% to 25.37%. The symptomatology was dominated by digestive signs present in 42.53% followed by respiratory signs in 31.91% and neurological signs in 25.75% of cases. The evolution was, in general, favourable and remained similar in both periods, except for the death that occurred in one case in 2020 against none in 2019. The pandemic has changed the profile of domestic accidents in children and has had serious consequences for children's lifestyles.

Abstract
The objective of this work is the epidemiological, clinical and evolutionary aspects of the cases of domestic accidents recorded during the Covid-19 pandemic, and to evaluate the repercussions on their profile in terms of frequency, type and gravity. This is a descriptive and comparative study of cases of domestic accidents, admitted and managed in the pediatric emergency services of the Hassan II University Hospital of Fez, during the two periods before and during the Covid-19 pandemic, from July to December of the year 2020 and over the same period of the previous year 2019. There was an increase of 63.41% in domestic accident cases during the Covid-19 period. The average age of patients was high during the pandemic period (4.11 years vs 2.5 years) with a male predominance in the same periods. The analysis of the types of domestic accidents was marked by an increase in tracheobronchial foreign body inhalations in the Covid-19 era, from 7.31% to 16.41%, and intoxications, which rose from 2.40% to 25.37%. The symptomatology was dominated by digestive signs present in 42.53% followed by respiratory signs in 31.91% and neurological signs in 25.75% of cases. The evolution was, in general, favourable and remained similar in both periods, except for the death that occurred in one case in 2020 against none in 2019.

L’objectif de ce travail est les aspects épidémiologiques, cliniques et évolutifs des cas d’accidents domestiques recensés au cours de la pandémie Covid-19, et d'en évaluer les répercussions sur leur profil en terme de fréquence, de type et de gravité. Il s'agit d'une étude descriptive et comparative des cas d’accidents domestiques, admis et pris en charge aux services des urgences pédiatriques de l'hôpital universitaire Hassan II de Fès, pendant les deux périodes avant et au cours de la pandémie COVID-19, allant du Juillet au Décembre de l’année 2020 et sur la même période de l’année précédente 2019. On a enregistré une augmentation de 63,41% cas d’accidents domestiques pendant la période Covid-19. L'âge moyen des patients était élevé en période de pandémie (4,11ans vs 2,5ans) avec une prédominance masculine dans les mêmes périodes. L'analyse des types d’accidents domestiques a été marquée par l'augmentation des inhalations des corps étrangers trachéo-bronchique à l’ère de Covid-19, passant de 7,31% à 16,41%, et des intoxications qui ont passé de 2,40% à 25,37%. La symptomatologie était dominée par des signes digestifs présents dans 42,53% suivis par des signes respiratoires dans 31,91% et des signes neurologiques dans 25,75% des cas. L'évolution a été, en général, favorable et resté similaire dans les deux périodes, à part le décès survenu dans un cas en 2020 contre aucun en 2019. La pandémie a modifié le profil des accidents domestiques chez les enfants et a eu de graves conséquences sur le mode de vie des enfants.
