Characteristics of traumatic brain injury in children and adolescents hospitalized in a Brazilian trauma reference center: a retrospective cross-sectional study
We found a predominance of children and adolescents with TBI coming from the north zone of the metropolitan region of São Paulo, with a prevalence of falls from heights above the ground among children ≤ 9 years of age and trampling among children older than this age. Preventive actions must be established after reflections on socioeconomic issues and considering the metropolitan area where the accidents occur and the age group.
