Children and adolescents are at higher risk of injuries from winter sports like skiing and snowboarding which can cause severe lifelong debilitation and death.
The objective of this study is to perform a nationwide analysis of pediatric skiing and snowboarding injuries to identify patterns regarding patient demographics, type of injuries, outcomes, and admission rates.
Descriptive Epidemiological Study.
This was a retrospective cohort study of publicly available data. Cases were sourced from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) from 2010 to 2020 and included 6421 incidents.
Even when the highest percentage of injuries was the head at 19.30%; the diagnosis of concussion was placed third while fractures were the most common diagnosis at 38.20%. The proportion of pediatric incidents by hospital type is changing with children's hospitals currently managing the majority of cases.
These findings can assist clinicians in the ED across different hospital types in understanding the patterns of injury to be better prepared for new cases.
儿童和青少年在冬季运动(如滑雪和单板滑雪)中受伤的风险更高,这些运动可能导致严重的终身残疾和死亡。
本研究旨在对儿科滑雪和单板滑雪伤害进行全国范围的分析,以确定患者人口统计学、伤害类型、结果和入院率的模式。
描述性流行病学研究。
这是一项对公开可用数据的回顾性队列研究。病例来自 2010 年至 2020 年的国家电子伤害监测系统 (NEISS),共包括 6421 例事件。
即使头部受伤的比例最高,达到 19.30%;但脑震荡的诊断仅排在第三位,骨折是最常见的诊断,占 38.20%。按医院类型划分的儿科事件比例正在发生变化,儿童医院目前管理着大多数病例。
这些发现可以帮助不同类型医院的急诊科临床医生了解伤害模式,以便更好地为新病例做好准备。
