Urban-rural disparities in fatal and non-fatal paediatric injuries after trauma – A national retrospective cohort study
The mortality rate increased linearly across all levels of centrality, and the relative risk was 2.4 times higher in the most rural population compared to the most urban population. To effectively target primary prevention and enhance trauma care for paediatric patients in rural areas, a deeper epidemiological understanding and more comprehensive studies are essential.
