A significant number of children under 3 years sustain a head injury every year. Despite this few studies have provided detailed information about these injuries.
A retrospective review of the medical files all children aged 0-3 years who attended a paediatric emergency department for treatment over a 2-year period.
Children aged 0-6 months had the highest rate of moderate head injury. Children under 12 months were at the greatest risk of injury. Falls were the most common cause of injury including falls from caregiver's arms.
Children under 12 months are at significant risk of head injury, many of these injuries could be prevented by increased parental supervision or improved home safety.
每年都有相当数量的 3 岁以下儿童头部受伤。尽管如此，很少有研究提供有关这些伤害的详细信息。

0-6 个月大的儿童中度头部受伤率最高。12 个月以下的儿童受伤风险最大。摔倒伤是最常见的受伤原因，包括从照顾者手臂上摔下。
12 个月以下的儿童头部受伤风险显著增加，许多伤害可以通过增加父母监督或改善家庭安全来预防。
