Mechanisms of paediatric injury: an 11-year review of injury trends from the National Trauma Data Bank
Though a few MOIs increased for all paediatric patients in the study period, disparities persist for several specific populations. As such, injury prevention strategies should be tailored based on age, sex and race or ethnicity, and relevant education and resources should be provided to both children and their adult guardians. Future research should consider additional socioeconomic and community-based characteristics.
