“…Sport injuries are concentrated in sports activities (football, basketball, swimming and beach volley), wounds (cuts) and sprains were the most common injuries types and lower and upper limbs are the most common parts of the body injured. Differences in sport injury characteristics by age and gender have also been found in previous research (Brudvik, 2000;Burt & Overpeck, 2001;Laflamme & Eilert -Peterson, 1998a;Patel & Nelson, 2000). Overall, findings revealed a high rate of injury among adolescents aged 10-12 years.…”

This study analyses surveillance data on summer camp sport injuries. The aim of this study was to create a typology of sport injury characteristics and circumstances specifically designed to elaborate safety strategies. Seven variables describing aspects of 337 summer camp sports injuries registered over a 3 month period in 8 different camps summer were analyzed simultaneously using, in sequence, the factorial analysis of correspondence (FAC) and the hierarchical ascendant classification (HAC).Relationships between sport injury characteristics and injured pupils' age and gender were measured. Five sport injury patterns as a typology was obtained and significant relationships were found to exist amongst sport injury patterns, age and gender.Findings revealed that the construction of a sport injury typology -by means of methods similar to those employed in the current study -may be of use for those concerned with camp sport injury prevention, such as camp managers and administrators.

“…Reports on downhill winter sports trauma often come from mountainous, high snowfall regions such as Norway [4,5] or Denver (average snowfall, 60 in [152 cm]/y) [6][7][8]. However, this study demonstrates that serious downhill sports injuries occur even in a region where the annual snowfall is low and ski resorts are few.…”

Purpose-To investigate injuries among children and adolescents who participate in downhill sports.Methods-We collected trauma registry data (January 1999-May 2006) from a level 1 pediatric trauma center with an average snowfall of 28 in (71 cm)/y. Cases were analyzed for injury mechanism, injury type, organ injured, Injury Severity Score, age, sex, and whether or not an operation was required.Results-There were 57 snowboarders and 22 skiers admitted during the study period. Forty-one (72%) of snowboarders and 16 (73%) of skiers required operations; 32 (56%) of snowboarders and 9 (41%) of skiers sustained fractures; and 14 (25%) of snowboarders and 6 (27%) of skiers sustained abdominal injuries. (P = NS for all comparisons). Serious splenic injuries were more common in snowboarders (14% vs 4%), but the difference was not statistically significant. All skiing injuries occurred at recreational facilities (commercial skiing areas), whereas 12% of snowboard injuries occurred at home, other residence, or public parks (P = .08). The most striking finding is the rising number of snowboarding injuries and the relatively stable rate of skiing injuries (see graph).Conclusions-As the popularity of snowboarding rises, snowboarding injuries in children are increasing. Pediatric surgeons should be wary of the "snowboard spleen." Keywords Snowboard; Skiing; Recreation; Pediatric; Trauma Although downhill skiing is a well-established sport, snowboarding is relatively new: it was recognized by the International Olympic Committee in 1994 and premiered in the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan [1]. Snowboarding is remarkable for its dramatic rise in popularity [2] and its association with serious injuries [3]. The purpose of this study was to investigate skiing and snowboarding injuries at a level 1 pediatric trauma center that is located outside of the typical "snowbelt" in the United States.

“…Gerek eriş-kinlerde, gerekse çocukluk çağında, kafa travmaları ile ilgili yapılan tüm çalışmalarda erkeklerin kadın-lardan daha fazla travmaya uğradığı bildirilmektedir. [2,3,[7][8][9]11,[16][17][18] Bu çalışmada 0-14 yaş genel tabloya baktığımızda, erkek çocuk sayısı 550 (%65), kız çocuk sayısı ise 301 (%35) olarak bulunmuştur. Ancak, yaş grupları incelendiğinde, bebeklik döneminde erkek/ kız oranı %57'ye %43 iken, okul çocuğu döneminde bu oran %71'e %29'a yükselmektedir.…”

“…[27] Norveç'de yapılan bir başka çalışmada çocuk istismarı oranı %0,33 olarak bildirilmiştir. [16] Şahin ve arkadaşları [9] tarafından yapılan bir derleme çalış-masında ise, çocuk istismarı önemli bir çocukluk çağı kafa travması nedeni olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bizim çalışmamızda ise, bu nedenle başvuran hasta tespit edemeyişimizin en önemli nedeninin, ebeveynleri konu ile ilgili uygun ve yeterli sorgulamadaki eksikliğimiz ve yapılan otopsilerin nedene yönelik değerlen-dirme eksikliği olabileceğini düşünmekteyiz.…”

AMAÇBu çalışmanın amacı, çocukluk çağı kafa travmaları konusunda ülkemizin epidemiyolojik verilerine katkıda bulunmaktır. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM Ocak 2003 ile Haziran 2008 tarihleri arasında SamsunMehmet Aydın Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Nöroşirürji Kliniğinde yatarak tedavi edilen 0-14 yaşları arasında toplam 851 hasta geriye dönük olarak incelendi. BULGULARHastaların 550'si (%65) erkek, 301'i (%35) kadındı. Travma nedenleri arasında düşme (%70) ilk sırada yer alıyor-du. Giriş Glasgow Koma Skalasına (GKS) göre %74 hafif (GKS 13-15), %22 orta (GKS 9-12) ve %4 ağır (GKS 3-8) kafa travmalı olgu mevcuttu. Seksen yedi hastaya toplam 92 operasyon uygulandı. Operasyon nedenleri arasında açık depresyon kırıkları ve epidural hematomlar ilk sıraday-dı. Toplam 33 (%3,8) hasta hayatını kaybetti. En sık tespit edilen ölüm nedeni, trafik kazaları ve yüksekten düşmelerdi. SONUÇBu çalışma ve yapılan diğer çalışmalar, çocukluk çağı kafa travmalarının çoğu önlenebilir nedenlerden kaynaklandığı-nı göstermiştir. Kafa travmaları ile ilgili epidemiyolojik ça-lışma ve verilerin artması, travmanın oluşmadan engellenebilmesi açısından önem arz etmektedir.Anahtar Sözcükler: Çocukluk çağı; epidemiyoloji; kafa travması.
