Purpose The study investigates changes in the injury characteristics of hospitalised children in a paediatric trauma centre during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods Data from injured children from the pre-pandemic year 2019 were compared to the pandemic year 2020 using Pearson’s chi-squared test and the Mann–Whitney U test. The period of highly restrictive regulations (HRP) was evaluated separately. A comprehensive literature review with defined search terms resulted in a descriptive data synthesis. Results Data from 865 patients indicated reductions in admissions of 5.6% and 54.4% during the HRP. In 2020, the hospitalisation time was longer (2.2 ± 2.7 days in 2019 vs. 2.4 ± 2.6 in 2020, p = 0.045); the proportions of wounds requiring surgical therapy (p = 0.008) and of observational treatments, primarily for mild brain injuries (p = 0.046), were higher; and conservative treatments, primarily for contusions, were lower (p = 0.005). There were no significant changes in age, location of lesions, or frequency of surgical therapy; nor were there differences in the HRP, except for fewer injuries in school and kindergarten (p < 0.001). The literature review summarises the main results of 79 studies. Conclusion Limited resources did not alter the indications for surgical therapy. Further studies should examine whether the more common injuries sustained at home were caused by excessive work/childcare demands on parents. Reduced inpatient conservative treatment implies that hospital resources possibly were overused previously. The literature offers answers to many detailed questions regarding childhood injuries during a pandemic and more efficient safe treatment.

New Digital Divide Shaped by Algorithm? Evidence from Agent-Based Testing on Douyin’s Health-Related Video Recommendation

While recommendation algorithms have significantly empowered human communication process, there is an emerging scholarly and societal concern regarding the potential discrimination inherent in algorithmic decision-making. The present study employs a novel agent-based testing approach to conduct an automated audit of the Douyin algorithm’s recommendations for health-related videos, aiming to investigate its relationship with information inequalities between individuals who are socioeconomically advantaged and disadvantaged. Our findings imply the possible existence of a new digital divide, wherein the algorithm tends to recommend a smaller proportion of authenticated health-related videos on cheap phone models, representing users in low socioeconomic group. Furthermore, this divide was mitigated when both groups demonstrated the same watching strategy for authenticated information. This study implies that recommendation algorithms actively perpetuate and exacerbate discriminatory social structures in reality. We also advocate for increased attention and education among the low socioeconomic group to enhance their health information literacy and understanding of algorithmic mechanisms.

BACKGROUND With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the demand for health knowledge about pediatric orthopedics is also gradually growing. The traditional paper-based and multimedia health education models can no longer fully meet the needs of society. Fortunately, the emergence of social media has solved the problem of insufficient medical resources. However, there is currently relatively little published evidence on the use of social media in pediatric orthopedics. OBJECTIVE This review aims to explore the current usage of social media in the field of pediatric orthopedics through the scoping review methods and provide theoretical guidance for health education and chronic disease management. Its purpose is to provide relevant evidence to promote understanding and development of the field. METHODS This review will follow the methodological framework of Arksey and O'Malley (2005) and the Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewer Manual. First, a literature search was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases. The search time range is from the establishment of the database to September 21, 2023. We endeavored to include in the review research articles related to social media and involving pediatric orthopedics and screened them by exclusion criteria. The literature will be reviewed at title, abstract, and full-text levels. RESULTS We included 35 studies out of 3400 citations retrieved. About (42.86% [15/35]) of these studies analyzed content quality, such as the quality of disease-specific video content. Secondly, (14.29% [5/35]) of studies used social media for telemedicine, (8.57% [3/35]) conducted content status surveys, and (8.57% [3/35]) conducted disease awareness surveys. This study analyzes the use of medical social media in pediatric orthopedics from the perspectives of medical institutions, medical personnel, and the public. Most articles use social media to help patients learn relevant knowledge (65.71% [23/35]) and for information dissemination in medical institutions (60.00% [21/35]). Secondly, social media is widely used to promote doctor-patient communication (25.71% [9/35]), communicating feelings (25.71% [9/35]), and helping medical staff collect data (22.86% [8/35]). According to research data, people are increasingly interested in pediatric orthopedics on social media platforms and are eager to obtain and learn relevant knowledge. CONCLUSIONS The study found that social media has been widely used in all aspects of medical institutions, medical personnel, and the public, playing an irreplaceable role in the scientific education of pediatric orthopedics and the dissemination of health knowledge. It is difficult for ordinary children’s parents or the general public to identify the accuracy and reliability of pediatric orthopedics information in social media. The correct use of social media to obtain pediatric orthopedics information requires professional guidance and social support. Based on learning disease-related knowledge, focus on mastering disease prevention knowledge.
