Pediatric pedestrian motor vehicle-associated of injuries correlated with a particular census tract's trauma is a significant public health concern for children. demographic composition. GIS mapping software was used We aimed to use geographic information systems (GIS) to examine the relationship between motor vehicle pedestrian injuries in children and the demographics of the region in which they occurred for the state of Delaware.
This is a retrospective analysis of collected data from the Delaware State Trauma Registry form January 1, 2002, to December 31, 2012. The records of all patients younger than 18 years who went to one of the state's six trauma centers during the study were reviewed. For each injury event, patient demographic information was recorded, and latitude/longitude coordinates of the injury site were determined. Median income, minority population, education level, and percentage of males and children in the census tract were obtained from state census data. Analysis of variance was used to characterize how the frequency of injuries correlated with a particular census tract's demographic composition. GIS mapping software was used to identify specific "hot spots" throughout the state where the examine the relationship between motor vehicle pedestrian frequency of traffic crash events was the highest.
Urban and poorer areas had tile highest number of injury events, with Wilmington having the highest frequency Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of collected data of injuries per capita. Census tracts with low median income, from the Delaware State Trauma Registry from January 1, lack of high school degree, and increased percentage of 2002, to December 31, 2012. The records of all patients African Americans and females had significantly higher injury younger than 18 years who went to one of the state's six counts compared with other census tracts.
In the state of Delaware, children in urban and poor areas are disproportionately affected by motor vehicle-associated pedestrian injuries. Specific risk factors for accidents in these areas need to be identified to facilitate the development of focused prevention strategies.
儿童行人机动车相关伤害与特定普查区的创伤相关，这是儿童健康的一个重大公共卫生问题。人口构成。我们旨在使用地理信息系统（GIS）来研究特拉华州儿童机动车行人伤害与伤害发生地区的人口统计学之间的关系。
这是一项对2002年1月1日至2012年12月31日期间从特拉华州创伤登记处收集的数据进行的回顾性分析。研究期间前往该州六个创伤中心之一的所有18岁以下患者的记录均经过审查。对于每起伤害事件，记录患者的人口统计学信息，并确定伤害地点的纬度/经度坐标。普查区的中位数收入、少数族裔人口、教育水平以及男性和儿童的百分比均来自州人口普查数据。方差分析用于描述伤害频率与特定普查区人口构成之间的关系。使用GIS地图软件识别该州交通事故发生频率最高的特定“热点”地区。
城市和贫困地区的伤害事件数量最多，威尔明顿的人均伤害频率最高。方法：这是一项对2002年1月1日至2012年12月31日期间从特拉华州创伤登记处收集的数据进行的回顾性分析。所有18岁以下前往该州六个创伤中心之一的患者记录均经过审查。与其他普查区相比，中位数收入低、缺乏高中学历、非裔美国人和女性比例增加的普查区的伤害计数明显更高。
在特拉华州，城市和贫困地区的儿童受机动车相关行人伤害的影响尤为严重。需要确定这些地区事故的具体风险因素，以促进制定有针对性的预防策略。
