Outcomes of head trauma in children admitted to a tertiary paediatric intensive care unit in South Wales
Demographics in South Wales are similar to the published literature, except falls had a higher mortality than RTA in our cohort. Head injury mechanisms, surgical interventions and outcomes show variation between patients from the pre-covid and lockdown periods. Outcomes are good for surgically and conservatively treated patients and very comparable to the published literature.
