Between 1974 and 1981, 28 701 children in Wales were admitted to hospital for observation after an injury to the head. Only 22 of 35 who subsequently developed intracranial haemorrhage, presented for examination within 24 hours of the injury. All of these patients had symptoms or signs clearly needing continued observation or treatment six hours after the injury. Many children who are currently admitted to hospital could safely be discharged after a limited period of observation.
1974年至1981年间,威尔士有28701名儿童因头部受伤入院观察。在随后发生颅内出血的35名儿童中,只有22名在受伤后24小时内就诊检查。所有这些患者在受伤6小时后都有明显需要继续观察或治疗的症状或体征。目前许多入院的儿童在经过有限时间的观察后可以安全出院。
