dc.description.abstract	Background/Objectives: Injuries are a major public health concern, particularly for vulnerable populations, affecting healthcare systems and victims' lives. Home injuries warrant special attention since homes, despite being considered safe, may require environmental modifications and safety awareness. This study aims to better understand circumstances leading to hospital admissions from home injuries. Methods: a cross-sectional study analyzed data collected through the national injury surveillance system from European countries registered in the European Injury Database, from 2018-2022. Associations were assessed using Pearson's chi-squared tests and logistic regression with odds ratios (OR), considering a 5% significance level (p<0.05). Results: The proportion of home injuries occurred was higher in the vulnerable groups, up to 14 years old (22.6%) and in the aged groups, > 65 years (30.1%), these differences were statistically significant (p<0,001). Home injuries in men accounted for 54.8%-61.8% of episodes across all age groups. Around 56.2% of injuries mechanism was due to fall. The probability of being admitted due to home injuries was higher in the older group (75+) [OR=5.6, 95% [5.5, 5,7], in men [OR=1.12, 95% [1.12, 1.13], due to poisoning [OR=8.1, 95% [7.5, 8,8] and during spring and winter seasons. Conclusions: These results show the need for prevention measures adapted to the home reality, and for raising awareness especially among the oldest and poisonings exposition. Therefore, continued study of this topic appears useful for designing prevention interventions as well as for preparing the response at different levels of care.	eng
