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.

Abstract

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.
