“…[3] In previous reports about pediatric trauma, it is indicated that 67.8% to 68.4% of pediatric patients were male and 32.4% to 31.6% were female [6,10] Soreide et al stated that the mean age was 13 years and Mihalicz et al reported the mean age was 11 years. [11,12] In this study, distribution of gender was similar with previous reports and furthermore female victims significantly younger than male. Also, in this study the mean age was found to be lower than the previous figures.…”

Özet Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Acil Tıp Kliniğinde, pediatrik travmayı etkileyen faktörlerin değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Üç ay süresince 18 yaş ve altı travma şikayeti ile Acil Tıp Kliniğine başvuran çocuklar kesitsel olarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Tüm hastaların yaş ortalamaları 7,44±4,54 ve kız çocukların yaş ortalaması erkeklerden istatistiksel olarak daha düşüktü. Travma mekanizmaları karşılaştırıldığında düşmenin diğer tüm mekanizmalarından daha sık (%60,7) gerçekleştiği bulundu. Araç dışı trafik kazaları motorlu taşıt yaralanmalarının %87,5'ini oluşturdu. Ekstremite fraktürü tanısı alan hastaların ortalama vücut ağırlıkları diğer hastaların ortalama vücut ağırlıklarından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı yüksek bulundu. Kafa travması şikayeti ile başvuran hastaların ortalama yaşı diğer hastalardan anlamlı olarak düşüktü. Televizyon düşmesi sebebiyle yaralanan hastaların GKS, RTS, PTS skorları diğer travma mekanizmaları ile karşılaştırıldığında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düşük bulundu. Ebeveynlerin eğitim durumları ile hastaneye yatış oranı karşılaştırıldığında anlamlı fark mevcuttu. (5,80±3,31'e karşı 6,91±3,29 yıl). Hastaların %73'ünün ortalama aylık gelirleri 1000$'dan düşüktü. Sonuç: Yaş, cinsiyet, vücut ağırlığı, travma mekanizmaları, ebeveynlerin düşük eğitim ve sosyoekonomik düzeyleri pediatrik travmayı etkileyen faktörler olarak görülmektedir. Düşme en sık meydana gelen travma mekanizması iken, TV düşmesi ölümcül yaralanma sebebiydi. Ayrıca araç dışı trafik kazaları tüm motorlu taşıt yaralanmaları içinde en sık görülendi.Anahtar Kelimeler:Çocuk, travma, risk faktörleri, acil tıp, travma skoru Abstract Aim: To evaluate the factors that affect pediatric trauma in the emergency department. Materials And Methods:Injured children aged 18 and younger presented to a community hospital-based ED during 3 months were analyzed as cross-sectional. Results: Mean age of overall sample was 7.44±4.54 and female victims were significantly younger than males. When compared the mechanisms of pediatric trauma, ground-level fall was found more often (60.7%) than other mechanisms. Pedestrian trauma was found 87.5% of Motor Vehicle Injury (MVI). Mean body weight of patients diagnosed with extremity fractures was significantly higher than the others. Mean age of patients suffered from head trauma was significantly lower than the others. Children hurt by falling TV, had significantly lower Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), Revised Trauma Score (RTS) and Pediatric Trauma Score (PTS) scores when compared to those with other mechanisms of injury. There was significant relation between the parents' mean education times and the rates of admission into the hospital (5.80±3.31 versus 6.91±3.29 years). Mean monthly household income of 73% of patients was found to be less than 1000$. Conclusion: Age, sex, body weight, trauma mechanisms, low educational and socio-economic level of parents were seemed to be affecting factors of pediatric trauma. While ground-level fall was found the most common of trauma mechanism, TV falling was ...

“…This is due to a variety of factors: differences in incidence, different approaches between centres and regions, and the fact that pancreatic injury is rare and thus few formal studies of the topic have been conducted (3). Concomitant injuries in about 80 % of the children must also be taken into account when choosing a treatment method.…”

“…Of all injuries, those occurring most frequently in children are head trauma and extremity injury, and abdominal injuries comprise only about 10 % of the total share (2). A Norwegian study found that among injuries with a fatal outcome, head trauma results in four of five fatalities, and bleeding is the next most frequent cause of death (3).…”

“…Blunt injuries dominate in children, they make up between 83-92% (20, 36) of all injuries, and road traffic accidents is the most common cause (36,37). During the first years in life the unintentional injuries are the most common and during the teenage years intentional self-harm increases and becomes the second most common cause of death (22).…”

“…In older age groups most of the injuries happen on the sports and athletic fields, and in older age on the roads (6). The pre hospital child injury mortality is in the range of 54 and 58% in Scandinavia (20,36).The majority of deaths in the working age is located in the pre hospital setting, in Norway 78% has been found to die in the pre hospital setting in the years between 1998 and 2007 (26). In the group of elderly in hospital death is more common (34).…”

Pediatric trauma deaths are predominated by severe head injuries during spring and summer

Abstract: Fatal pediatric trauma occurs most frequently in boys during spring/summer, associated with severe head injuries and low probability of survival. Preventive measures appear mandated in order to reduce this mortality in this age group.
