A retrospective study was conducted of the 880 children with head injuries consecutively admitted to the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa from July 1976 to June 1978. It confirmed a boy:girl ratio of about 2:1, with a peak of 3.5:1 around 7 years of age. The largest number of head injuries was in children under 1 year of age. Injuries were most common in summer and spring, and most were caused by falls. The most common place for head injuries was in the home, but the single most common cause of injuries was bicycle accidents, which were responsible for 12% of all the head injuries. Skull fractures were found in 30% of all the patients. Of the 34 patients with severe head injuries 8 (24%) died, 9 (26%) had a moderate residual disability and 17 (50%) made a good recovery. There were no other deaths, so the mortality for the entire group of 880 patients was 0.9%.
对1976年7月至1978年6月连续收治于渥太华东安大略儿童医院的880例头部受伤儿童进行了一项回顾性研究。结果证实,男女比例约为2:1,7岁左右达到峰值3.5:1。头部受伤儿童数量最多的是1岁以下儿童。受伤在夏季和春季最为常见,大多数是由跌倒所致。头部受伤最常见的地点是家中,但单一最常见的受伤原因是自行车事故,占所有头部受伤的12%。在所有患者中,30%发现有颅骨骨折。在34例重度头部受伤患者中,8例(24%)死亡,9例(26%)有中度残留残疾,17例(50%)恢复良好。无其他死亡病例,因此880例患者的总死亡率为0.9%。
