The mediating role of hyperactivity and inattention on sex differences in paediatric injury risk

Abstract

Interventions that promote child well-being by targeting constellations of externalizing behaviour problems may simultaneously decrease paediatric injury risk.

Pediatric solid organ injury – frequency of abdominal imaging is determined by the treating department

“…The possibility to perform cross-sectional imaging in teenagers without sedation may also contribute to this finding. Finally, it has been repeatedly shown that boys sustain injuries more frequent and with higher severity than girls which may contribute to a lower threshold for CT assessment [ 22 ]…”

Frequency of neuroimaging for pediatric minor brain injury is determined by the primary treating medical department

“…It has been shown repeatedly that boys sustain more frequent and more severe injuries than girls. [24,25] Explanations for these gender differences take account of parental socialization, cognitive appraisals of injury risk and individual differences in child behavior patterns. [24] These factors in combination with more concerning mechanisms of injury may lead to a lower threshold for CT assessment in the diagnostic evaluation of blunt head trauma in boys.…”

Does Training in Table Creation Enhance Table Interpretation? A Quasi-Experimental Study With Follow-Up

“…We developed two new assessments for the longitudinal follow-up. They relied on examples from published literature that presented demographic information in a table (Karazsia, Guilfoyle, & Wildman, 2012) and a correlation matrix (Karazsia, Crowther, & Galioto, 2013).…”
